Lintian tag: package-placeholder-in-symbols-file

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The symbols file contains the placeholder #PACKAGE# in the
Build-Depends-Package field. During the build process, it will be replaced
with the wrong value. There is no placeholder that works.

The development package for your shared library must be stated explicitly.

With the information, dpkg-shlibdeps(1) can calculate the installation
prerequisites for your package from the build prerequisites.

Please refer to The symbols File Format (Section 8.6.3.2) in the Debian
Policy Manual, the deb-symbols(5) manual page, the dpkg-shlibdeps(1)
manual page,
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/advanced.en.html#librarysymbols,
and Bug#944047 for details.
