My work is reproduced as below:

sudo dpkg-deb -x libjim0.81_0.81+dfsg0-1_amd64.deb /tmp/jimctl
sudo dpkg-gensymbols -v0.81 -plibjim -P/tmp/jimctl/ -Olibjim.symbols # sudo :-(

Then, drop the version string from libjim.symbols and old libjim0.79.symbols:

cat libjim.symbols | awk '{print $1}' > libjim0.81.txt
cat libjim0.79.symbols | awk '{print $1}' > libjim0.79.txt

diff libjim0.81.txt  libjim0.79.txt

And the last result is +13 and -5 symbols entiries applied for libjim0.81.symbols,
that is moved from libjim0.79.symbols by manual.

Is that OK?
