 The fix (f7158591929b7870b165e72a306c6f98f1662569) is in my dpkg branch:

Thanks for the quick reaction while I was away.

 It contains another 2 patches which are really small and could be merged too.

I merged the updated diff label and left the other one out since it doesn't
work...  and I added a test case to ensure this tricky part of the code will
continue to work as expected next time you try to rewrite that part. :-)

Add new test case for symbols file parsing

Ensure that an #include can change the name of the currently parsed
library (ELF object).


Feel free to try to update your patch to make it pass the updated test suite.

Bug#536034: dpkg-dev: dpkg-gensymbols produces broken symbols files

[Michael Biebl]

Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.15.3
Severity: serious
Justification: broken dependencies

Since the latest update of dpkg from 1.15.2 to 1.15.3, dpkg-gensymbols
produces broken symbols files. As an example I attached the
libc6.symbols file for -19, which whas generated using 1.15.3.

Severity serious, as this results in broken package depdencies.
