This symbols file thing is clear as mud for me, I just don't get it.
Running dpkg-gensymbols does not produce any diff I can see, the
created debian/tmp/DEBIAN/symbols is identical to the original
debian/libunarr1.symbols.
The more I look into this, the more weird. I cannot see any usable
symbols in the generated solib using objdump or nm. Is this the reason
gensymbols doesn't generate anything?
Isn't a library so-file without visible symbols terribly wrong?
Cheers!
