I suspect that the change is in dh_makeshlibs, which tells dpkg-gensymbols
which libraries to generate symbols for.  Excluding the file in
dh_makeshlibs (using -X) would work.

The underlying root of the problem is that, despite being a plugin,
encrypted_challenge.so apparently has a versioned SONAME.  If it didn't,
dh_makeshlibs wouldn't think it was a regular library.  Usually, plugins
are built without a version in their SONAME.
