Although dpkg-gensymbols produces a diff, this is surely not meant for you to apply directly as a patch: each change requires proper manual inspection to understand whether this is an intended change. The symbols file is not to be understood as a mere documentation/dumb list, rather it is a contract: as a package maintainer you guarantee that the listed symbols are provided. Best, Michael
