Lintian tag: symbols-file-contains-debian-revision

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

Debian revisions should be stripped from versions in symbols files. Not
doing so leads to dependencies unsatisfiable by backports (1.0-1~bpo <<
1.0-1 while 1.0-1~bpo >= 1.0). If the Debian revision can't be stripped
because the symbol really appeared between two specific Debian revisions,
you should postfix the version with a single "~" (example: 1.0-3~ if the
symbol appeared in 1.0-3).

Please refer to the dpkg-gensymbols(1) manual page and
https://wiki.debian.org/UsingSymbolsFiles for details.
