I agree that those symbols file can be a real nuisance. I try to
maintain these to be sure that there is no ABI change for new upstream
versions. If I remember correctly it also happened in the oast with one
of the libbpp libraries changed symbols which was not reflected in a
SOVERSION bump. I'm not sure whether we can implement better means
to ensure proper SOVERSION - if yes I'm fine with droping the symbols
files.
Kind regards
Andreas.
