It also adds a call to ldconfig in the postinst and postrm scripts (in
V3 mode and above only) to any packages in which it finds shared libraries.
-If a L<dpkg-gensymbols(1)> symbol file is found in debian/package.symbols
-(or debian/package.symbols.arch), dpkg-gensymbols will be called
-to process and install the symbols file. Packages using symbols files
-should Build-Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.14.8).
