For a real example, you can take a look at gnustep-base/1.24.9-3.1 (the version in stretch). gnustep-gui also had .symbols file from 0.25.0-1 until it was removed in 0.25.0-4 but these are avaialable only from snapshot.d.n. I can also send a very minimalistic case which I used to persuade my fellow co-maintainer Eric Heintzmann that symbols files are not only useless but actually harmful.
