I maintain a package which provides a .symbols file. But it uses a
dh_makeshlibs in debian/rules[0].
override_dh_makeshlibs:
dh_makeshlibs -plibgphoto2-$(major) \
-V 'libgphoto2-$(major) (>= $(SHLIBS))' \
-X/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/libgphoto2/
dh_makeshlibs -plibgphoto2-port12 \
-V 'libgphoto2-port12 (>= $(SHLIBS))' \
-X/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/libgphoto2_port/

Am I confusing or the package uses the two systems ?
It does. Vast majority of packages that have DEBIAN/symbols also have
DEBIAN/shlibs, because dh_makeshlibs generates both of them. If you have
DEBIAN/symbols, DEBIAN/shlibs is probably not very useful, but it
doesn't hurt either.
That said, I wonder if there's any point in passing -V to dh_makeshlibs
if the package uses symbols. It doesn't seem useful.
