I posted some in the previous thread on this topic:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/08/msg00915.html
| Among 2195 packages with shlibs files, 1347 have the same symbols file

This analysis was done without counting hurd-i386 (which was simply
forgotten in my list of arches...) but included m68k.
