ACK, thanks for updating the copyright file accordingly.

So the next steps should be:
1. check that no rdeps are currently using those symbols (because this
   is C and there is nothing preventing packages from using them if they
   really want to…)
2. check if it is possible for those functions to e.g. be defined as
   static or something else that would prevent them from being exported
3. I fear a similar fate will also happen to all the other functions
   defined similarly, so I wonder if at least some kind of comment
   should be added to the .symbol file for those symbols.
