If you miss symbols, I suppose the tool gets to decide how to handle
it, and would probably default to something sane; this means we would
get "dh_makeshlibs -V" per-symbol instead of per-library in this case;
smaller pain than "dh_makeshlibs -V".
dh_makeshlibs -V should be kept for young libraries:
