I don't see much similarity.
- shlibs are not created by any dpkg-* tool, but symbols files are
- dh_makeshlibs create shlibs file but without using any local file
as input, all the input comes from the command line
- dh_installdeb installs maintainer provided shlibs file but it doesn't
use any dpkg-* tool to do that, it merely copies the file over
For me the symbols files are coupled to dpkg-gensymbols and any
manipulation is best done by this tool instead of letting other
high-level tools chime in. I'll gladly add any required feature do
dpkg-gensymbols directly.
