From 78279dbcdd52d16b14f2de5eb6958948f9dc3dcf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joey Hess Date: Sun, 23 May 2010 19:26:41 -0400 Subject: In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does not itself normally look will be passed to it, a behavior change which may break some packages.
