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.
