Ah yes, thanks.  I'd suggest that deserves to be in its own section; something 
like "Updating symbols file for multiple architectures".

I used "getbuildlog" successfully and got 21 build logs.  But the batchpatch 
step fails:

$ pkgkde-symbolshelper batchpatch -v 0.27.2 /tmp/exiv2_0.27.2-1_*.log
Looking for patches and reading them ....

| Processing libexiv2-27 package |

pkgkde-symbolshelper: error: input symbol file template must have 
'SymbolsHelper-Confirmed' header
pkgkde-symbolshelper: error: libexiv2-27 patching FAILED. Will NOT continue.


Now what???

Thanks,
