I've seen this happen a few times and I've ended up rewriting the existing symbols file with the new one generated as DEBIAN/symbols. > I also switched the packaging to d-shlibs a I promised.

Admittingly, the thing I've had issues with was the override option as at the time, did not make sense to me. I'll now use d-shlibs within future library packages as it does most of the job itself in a safe way. > I'll test this later. Thanks. It could just be that d-shlib rectifies this as maybe I was installing the wrong thing. I will try initiate a build as I have not done so yet. > I promised support - specifically when you are tackling such a huge > beast. ;-) Grateful for this :). It makes more sense visualising the current issues and how you would rectify it, which I can apply to future packaging.
