[ktp-common-internals] Symbols change without ABI bump ?

[Aurélien COUDERC]

Dear Team,

I’m working on updating ktp-common-internals to the latest upstream version 
(19.12.1) among other reasons to fix FTBFS #949236.

I’m not very used to packaging or updating libraries and there are a couple of 
symbol changes that I feel I need to ask for some review / help.
Some changes caught by dpkg-gensymbols are symbols removals or replacements 
and they look like they are backwards incompatible and would deserve an ABI 
bump. But upstream didn’t do that. Am I missing something ?

I guess I cannot do a ABI bump on the Debian side only that would be 
incompatible with future upstream ABI bumps, so what should I do ?
Rebuild reverse dependencies and get going ?
Go ahead and impact the symbol changes without worrying because these changes 
don’t really matter ?

The dpkg-gensymbols diff is in attachment, stripped down from a couple of 
symbol additions that are obviously OK and backwards compatible.


Thanks,

Aurélien
