Hi Olivier, to check for license issues, I usually use commands like “grep -ri copyright .”, with other keywords like license or author as well. When a common pattern emerges, I filter it out with “grep -v”. I also inspect the directory tree by eye, looking for usual suspects. For instance, icons may contain embedded descriptions or copyright statements, especially when they were copied from an icon library. I described the generation of the symbols file in the corresponding commit message. dpkg-gensymbols, that is called by dh_makeshlibs, that is called by dh, outputs a patch to the current symbols file when it looks it needs to be refreshed. Therefore, one simple way to produce a symbols file is to create an empty one, build the package, and look in the build log for the patch, or run dh_makeshlibs separately (after the package is built).
