Ah, this is due to a recent fix in dpkg-gensymbols, that revealed this underlying problem. The code is comparing the templates, but the module was expanding the #PACKAGE# marker, instead of leaving it alone when in template mode, I've fixed this now locally. It seems I only tested a symbols file w/o #PACKAGE# for the previous fix. :/ This will be fixed in 1.18.1, to be released RSN (as in days at most). There's also an ordering problem with one of the files, I'll take a look at possibly preserving the original order on output.
