I think that the symbols file will only be generated for comparison.
If debian/<package>.symbols does not exist, it won't do anything.
If it does, it will compare them and warn when symbols have changed.

There's some instructions here:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/advanced.en.html#librarysymbols
I used dpkg-gensymbols to generate a symbols file, I guess it will be useful
to compare changes in the future.

It's up here: https://mentors.debian.net/package/fonts-open-sans

Excluding the font files from Cura seems to work fine, it's picking them up
from the system automatically, as far as I can tell.

And the updated packages are on Debian mentors now:
