** Description changed:

  Hello Ubuntu team,
  
  I am a user of the libtango8 package available in Ubuntu repository. Since 
Ubuntu 13.10, this library is built with the option
  -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions. This generates problems for this software. In 
previous Ubuntu releases, it was not the case and the software worked nicely.
  
  In its source package, in the debian/rules file, there is this line
  
  export DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_STRIP="-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions"
  
  which should prevent the use of this -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions option
  when building the package but it seems that it is not true anymore.
  
  Is it a Ubuntu bug?
  Is there something we can do with the package developpers?
  
  Any help welcome
  
  Emmanuel
