I've used that script to find the first time the symbols were the same,=20
and the last time they were different

I've added comments in relevant debian/rules under the form :

[package name]   [last different version]   [first equivalent version]

I'm not sure if we have to use the max(first equivalent version) for=20
every binary package from the same source, I'm not very sure.

if the 'first equivalent version' is "now" that means that the current=20
package has new symbols.

I've done it for :
  arts, accessibility, admin, artwork, base, graphics, libs, multimedia,
  network, toys, utils and webdev (in fact the subpart of those that=20
  embed shared libs)


                                 * * *

I've patched my first script a bit in order to use it like this :

    POOL=3Dpath/to/pool check-shlibs2 version [package]

POOL can be any http/ftp path to a debian repository where the packages=20
are stored under the scheme :

  main/a/arts/libarts1_VERSION_ARCH.deb (e.g.)

so we can use http://snapshots.debian.net/archive/YYYY/MM/DD/debian/pool=20
which is more than handy. the optional [package] arg, is used to=20
perform the check only on one subpackage, and not every ones.

I still don't perform any version guess which is really sub optimal when=20
you do what I did (searching the time the symbols changed) but which is=20
not that annoying when you only diff wrt current unstable (which should=20
be the only thing we do, now that I've done most of it)
