FWIW, Ryan is not interested to add this feature. During the discussion, we came to the conclusion that we should rather avoid using debian/*.symbols files in favor of debian/*.symbols.<arch> when the package maintainer is not sure if there's going to be differences in the set of symbols for all architectures. He can use #include to avoid duplicating the content too many times. That way unofficial arch won't use symbols files until the maintainer explicitely added support for them.
