You'd add the tag "(optional)" at the start of each line:

libOpenColorIO.so.1 libopencolorio1 #MINVER#
 (optional)_ZN11OpenColorIO2v110ColorSpace11setBitDepthENS0_8BitDepthE@Base 
1.0.8~dfsg0
 
(optional)_ZN11OpenColorIO2v110ColorSpace12setTransformERKNSt3tr110shared_ptrIKNS0_9TransformEEENS0_19ColorSpaceDirectionE@Base
 1.0.8~dfsg0

etc.

That's fair, as they are often a nuisance; if maintaining them proves
more trouble than it's worth (a distinct possibility for packages likely
to accumulate only a few reverse dependencies), you can do away with
them altogether in favor of the traditional shlibs system.

As I noted, a lot of developers find pkgkde-symbolshelper from
pkg-kde-tools to be of use.  However, I can't offer much specific advice
on using it because I haven't needed to do so myself -- my only C++
library packages are of FLTK, whose symbols don't vary much across
architectures.  (It's historically refrained from using the STL, which
is a big source of such variation.)
