And this is utterly *WRONG*. This doesn't work for co-maintained
packages. This doesn't work with NMUs. This doesn't work for people who
develop on several machines without always synchronising them. All the
information needed to build a package should be in the diff.gz, not on
the maintainer's disk.
The only sane way to do is to *never* alter the symbols file provided by
the maintainer, but to fail and suggest the maintainer how to update it.
