From <http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/symbolfiles.html>: if the symbol is a private member of a class, it is safe to remove it. So, if I'm not mistaken, you can consider it optional. Or even just remove it. Now IIRC there is a way to keep all private symbols out of the symbols file, but that would requiere changes in the sources.
