FWIW, I'm still not convinced this soname bump is a good idea at all
aassuming it's still the removal of a few functions that triggers it).

That's not sufficient AFAICT:
| Package: libusb-1.0-0-udeb
| Source: libusbx
| Version: 2:1.0.16-1
| Depends: libc6-udeb (>= 2.17), udev-gtk-udeb

That's OK. The tricky part is just to keep shipping the shlibs file
even if a symbol file is present, since symbols don't work for udebs.

I see debian-experimental has the --add-udeb for dh_makeshlibs so
you're apparently good to go.

Mraw,
