As you probably noticed I moved the package under Debian Science and Mattia already uploaded the new version. :-)

Given my previous attempt at providing symbols files for C++ packages I am reluctant to do so.
If possible I will avoid adding that file for a while:
upstream is not answering my emails since a while and I still have to instruct them about SONAMEs and many other things (e.g., binary name conflicts, scripts extensions,
...); I would like to have better interaction with them, before trying to keep track of symbols.
