Package: debian-policy Version: 3.8.4.0 Severity: wishlist AFAIK, the current version of dpkg in stable supports symbols files, so I think it is time we loosen the requirement for shlibs files when symbols files are present.
Requiring shlibs when there is a symbols file also is error-prone, as when the symbols file is updated, the shlibs may not be bumped.
