Bug#461575: lintian: [shared-libs] symbols file should list a dependency on the package or on its provided package
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.42
Severity: wishlist
I'd like a check like shlibs-declares-dependency-on-other-package but for
symbols files (we just had the case for zlib where lib64z1 generated a
dependency on zlib1g instead of itself).
It's somewhat related to
