Once the symbols file is in place, maintaining it shouldn't require very much effort. As I explained, dpkg-gensymbols, which is run by dh_makeshlibs, tells you about any symbol changes when you build the package. You merely have to apply the generated diff to the symbols file and adjust the minium required version appropriately, making the procedure more automated compared to manually checking when the dependencies have to change. Running simply "dh_makeshlibs -V" should be avoided as will result in unnecessarily tight dependencies and therefore may delay testing transitioning. -- Magnus Holmgren holmg...@debian.org Debian Developer
