That's because of the .symbols file; the .shlibs is not used at all
which makes gnustep-gui's dh_makeshlibs override kind of useless.

Unfortunately it looks like all apps that were rebuilt during the
GNUstep transition are affected.

Yet another good reason to avoid .symbols files for Objective-C
libraries.
