[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#897785: Bug#897784: Bug#897780: Now gcc-8 errors caused by non-fitting symbols file became serious

[Julien Yann Dutheil]

Dear Andreas,

Library updates should be now done and pushed. Some notes:
- I referred to the bug numbers in commits and changelogs, but did not
close them, as the report says to only close them once the packages build
properly.
- I am regularly facing random issues like package "bpp-*-dev not found" or
"library symbols contain debian version number". I came to realise that
changing d-shlibs (>= 0.80) or (>=0.82) solves the problem: if it fails
with one, I change the number and it works. When it fails again, I change
the number back and it works again. I have no idea what's going on and I
must obviously be doing sthg wrong... would you mind checking I did not
mess anything in the control files?

Best regards,

Julien.
