[Pkg-samba-maint] RFH: adding symbols to debian/*.symbols for libsmbclient and libwbclient0

[Christian Perrier]

With 3.3.0, I went on the following lintian warning:

E: libsmbclient: symbols-file-contains-current-version-with-debian-revision on symbol smbc_getOptionCaseSensitive at Base and 4 others
N:
N:    Debian revisions should be stripped from versions in symbols files. Not
N:    doing so leads to dependencies unsatisfiable by backports (1.0-1~bpo <<
N:    1.0-1 while 1.0-1~bpo >= 1.0). If the debian revision can't be stripped
N:    because the symbol really appeared between two specific Debian
N:    revisions, you should postfix the version with a single "~" (example:
N:    1.0-3~ if the symbol appeared in 1.0-3).
N:
N:    This problem normally means that the symbols were added automatically by
N:    dpkg-gensymbols. dpkg-gensymbols uses the full version number for the
N:    dependency associated to any new symbol that it detects. The maintainer
N:    must update the debian/<package>.symbols file by adding the new symbols
N:    with the corresponding upstream version.
N:
N:    Severity: important; Certainty: certain
N

May someone point me to the right action in order to add these new
symbols and put the right version in the debian/*symbols file?
