Yes. It's still optional, particularly for C++ libraries I think.

This is a standard problem with C++ libraries. You have to use
architecture-specific symbols for a lot of C++ libraries. There are new
facilities in dpkg to try to help making writing those symbol files
easier, but I'm still not getting a warm and fuzzy mature feeling about
use of symbols with C++ at this point.
