Empty lines are quite useful as (visual) delimiters between sections in
symbols files, for example when libfoo0 contains libfoo-bar.so.0 and
libfoo-baz.so.0. Consider them like comments: ignore them. This gets us
rid of such warnings (which by the way are missing line numbers):
| dpkg-gensymbols: warning: Failed to parse a line in debian/libfoo0.symbols:
| dpkg-gensymbols: warning: Failed to parse a line in debian/libfoo0.symbols:
