I don't see much similarity. - shlibs are not created by any dpkg-* tool, but symbols files are - dh_makeshlibs create shlibs file but without using any local file as input, all the input comes from the command line - dh_installdeb installs maintainer provided shlibs file but it doesn't use any dpkg-* tool to do that, it merely copies the file over For me the symbols files are coupled to dpkg-gensymbols and any manipulation is best done by this tool instead of letting other high-level tools chime in. I'll gladly add any required feature do dpkg-gensymbols directly.
