Reverse Depends:
  libtsk-dev,libtsk13 4.6.5-1
  sleuthkit,libtsk13 4.4.1
  guestfsd,libtsk13 4.2.0
  libguestfs0,libtsk13 4.2.0

Removing the symbols is a bad approach. Symbols are essential to watch
ABI status. Is need to think about the current and future of the
packages depending on the library. If the problem is only
"symbols-file-contains-current-version-with-debian-revision", simply
remove the revision digit from each line inside the symbols file.
