Symbols files are usually better since you get more fine grained
control of dependencies, but they take a lot more time to maintain
(especially for C++ libraries).
In this very specific case, I think we don't need it, as I explained
here [1] and you can see how upstream is taking seriously the ABI now
[2]
I don't see what upstream dedication to ABI compatibility has to to with
symbol files.
Anyway, the reason we're having this thread is because apparently
libjsoncpp broke ABI without SONAME change, so maybe they're not taking
it seriously enough. :>
