Hello.
Now that symbol files are here, I think it could make sense to have a
"smart" mode for dh_makeshlibs were the shlib version is determined as
the highest version that appears in the symbols file. This would allow
for a tight shlibs file, without the need to maintaining the version
information in two places (symbol files, and debian/rules).
Personally I'd love for -V to just change its behavior if there's a
symbol file, but I guess that wouldn't make you very happy, so maybe -S?
Thanks for considering,
