I would be sceptical about this, because it would break any library that
is structured to require particular symbols from its users. This isn't
hugely common practice, but there are a few examples of it in the
archive: libcgic comes to mind, whose design requires applications
linked against it to supply a cgiMain symbol.
I think that this should be discussed with the Debian dpkg maintainers
rather than requiring any particular schedule on the Ubuntu side, so I'm
removing the milestone.
