Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.16.1.1 Severity: important Hi,
at least since updating to 1.16.1.1 dpkg-gensymbols ignores -e: bzed@think ~debian/gpsd/build-area/gpsd-3.3 QUILT-% dpkg-gensymbols -plibgps20 -Pdebian/libgps20 -d -e'libgps20.*' Using references symbols from debian/libgps20.symbols Scanning debian/libgps20/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgpsd.so.20.0 for symbol information ------------------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^ I do not want to scan libgpsd, only libgps. That worked well before but broke since the last upgrade. (libgpsd contains some internal stuff which is used by gpsd and tools which ship with gpsd - it doesn't have a stable API and is not supposed to be linked by other applications) So please make -e work again.
