I certainly didn't advocate removing this override.

The override passed -X options to dh_makeshlibs. They are needed to 
prevent debhelper from treating private libraries like if they were 
shared libraries (see bug #205142).

Now that the -X options are gone, dh_makeshlibs tries to generate 
symbols for the private libraries, but they are not in debian/*.symbols, 
hence the warnings.

Which wiki page do you have in mind?
