Ok, more updates: The exported versions look way worse than I hoped. We
have (looking at 1.2.8rel-1, 1.2.8rel-2, 1.2.8rel-3, 1.2.8rel-4,
1.2.8rel-5.1, 1.2.8rel-5.2, 1.2.8rel-6, 1.2.8rel-7, 1.2.13-4,
1.2.15~beta5-0, sorted from left to right, whereas 1.2.8rel-1 is in
sarge) the following numbers of how often symbols were exported and not:
   1 X        ++
   2 X+++++++++
   6 X+  +++++
   7 X+       ++
 125 X+
 191 X++++++++++

(The first line means: We have one case where a symbol was only exported
in 1.2.13-4 and 1.2.15~beta5-0, the respective versions in testing and
unstable, two cases where a symbol was exported anywhere except
1.2.15~beta5-0, etc.)
