[Feature] Add support for makeshdeps symbols file
Metadata
Current evaluation
Requested .symbols generation for native shared libraries remains unimplemented; debcraft generates shlibs and consumes symbols files but has no helper that writes them. Needs maintainer triage.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: Current makeshlibs writes only control/shlibs, while the packaging pipeline runs makeshlibs and shlibdeps; no code path generates a symbols file. Although shlibdeps already consumes packaged and installed symbols, a Debian-compatible generator still requires decisions about exported symbol selection, versioning, formatting, and tests, with no maintainer response establishing scope.
