Actually, symbols files are really easy to use with Debhelper. One thing to remember is to create an empty symbols file before runnign dh_makeshlibs, otherwise it will not produce a patch. Using a symbols file will ensure that the packages linking to the library will only depend on the lowest version providing all the needed symbols. It is great for users installing Sid or Testing packages on Testing or Stable, and sometimes helps the packages to migrate to Testing.
