Well, it took a *long* time before I've undergone the process from
ignoring symbols files to finally providing some in cases where there
are good reasons to use them.  Shortly after I now get adise to not
use them.  I'm not sure whether this is fully honest - but to you
want to file a bug report against lintian to warn only about missing
symbols files if its not a C++ library?

Kind regards

     Andreas.
