The corner case where -V still matters is if a package that ships a symbols
file is built with a new toolchain, then installed and built against on an
old system using an old version of dpkg-shlibdeps.  Do you think this use
case is irrelevant, and we should just stop using -V when converting to
symbols files given that dpkg-gensymbols is supported in stable?

(I'm on the fence about this question myself, so am interested in a second
opinion.)

Thanks,
