Comment 1 for bug 688839

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.
