I've seen this before; it seems that sometimes when the package is
built from source, the resulting library is missing some symbols for
some reason.  AFAICT, this happens completely at random (i.e. if I use
pbuilder twice on the package, it might be broken one time and fine
the next).

I agree, especially considering that ldso can't be built from source
because of bug #168592.
