ahh yes! Jan, as you are one with the deepest knowledge of the internal
usage of symbols from other libraries, can you please give some advice
which libraries are potentially candidates here?

Debian wants to make one day a release goal about the hardening for the
packages involved in the release. So if kopanocore is depending on
packages that haven't switch on the hardening yet it's a good point to
ask the maintainers about the state in their packages. So no worries, no
need for action on your side, this is one thing we can do within the
Debian universe.
