Bug#702752: perl: review shared library advice in policy 3.9.4

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Source: perl
Version: 5.16.2-2
Severity: normal

Quoting upgrading-checklist:

     8.6
          Policy for dependencies between shared libraries and other
          packages has been largely rewritten to document the `symbols'
          system and more clearly document handling of shared library ABI
          changes.  `symbols' files are now recommended over `shlibs' files
          in most situations.  All maintainers of shared library packages
          should review the entirety of this section.
