symbol patterns in .symbols files prior to dpkg-1.15.6



Hello,

it was recently pointed out to me that one of my library packages
encountered a build error whilst attempting to backport it to an older
system.

The build failed because I use symbol patterns, specifically c++ tags,
in the package's .symbols file. This feature was introduced in dpkg-1.15.6.

One simple way to resolve this would be to rename the .symbols file
during build and again during clean (or similar approaches); I was
wondering though if anybody had a better approach to recommend?
