Answering to my own email, dpkg-gensymbols is the tool to use for symbols. Unless I'm not using it properly, there is no symbol change introduced in 14.4.1. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that 14.4.1 is binary compatible with 14.4.0. Some changes can not be catched by checking symbols e.g. a struct that changed size. Do you know if there has been a change that could break binary compatibility?
