Dear Boyuan,
Thank you for taking time to provide detailed information on the symbol usage
on debian.
Sorry for the late reply, I was unavailable to reach you last week due to
personal reasons.
I had updated the package based on the suggestion while I missed sending the
email here.

Kind regards,
Syed Shahrukh Hussain.

Since there is already an existing symbols file, you need not initialize it
by yourself. Instead you should add new symbols that appeared in the new
library version
into it.

introduced in version 4.13 using the diff in build log.
This procedure was exactly described in
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/advanced.en.html
<https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/advanced.en.html> .

You can read more into the symbols system using my given URL, but the basic
idea is just to
use the file to track which (public) symbols are exposed to the library
invoker, and of which
packaged shared library version did these symbols appear. As such, the file
shall exist and be
updated across different packaged library versions, and *get reset* when
SONAME is bumped
(since broken API/ABI would reset the symbol's minimum compatible library
version).
We are not bumping SONAME now, so there is not resetting, just adding new
symbols.
Please do so and let me know when you are ready. Please ensure that the
package buildlog
does not have warning outputs when dh_shlibdeps gets invoked.
Thanks,
Boyuan
