Upstream intends that symbol to be private, so it should be unused in other packages. But for confidence that it doesn't lead to breakage, someone should build test the reverse dependencies, which is a large number. Graham can you do that? It's rather late in the release cycle, so maybe leave things alone for now, and plan to do a jessie-pu once that testing is complete? > @Michael, how did you build the package that you didn't notice this > issue in your build? I only did debian/rules build while testing, and debian/rules binary-indep to finish up, which missed the dpkg-gensymbols step. That was a mistake on my part. I should have done a test of the binary-arch step also, but it slipped my mind, apologies.
