Hi,

Looking at MR 4428 (cherry picked from commit 96cfaf67) it introduces a new symbol in the wiretap 11 library (wtap_uses_lua_filehandler). The debian symbols file contains the addition of "wtap_uses_lua_filehandler@Base 3.5.1", which refers to a later version (3.5.1) than this release is of (3.4.x). I could see this being a problem somewhere. Maybe we need to reconsider inclusion of the MR in release-3.4

Being a stable system library is nothing like what Wireshark is so I very much put into question if this is indeed a problem in the real world and moreover if it is a problem for Wireshark devs to solve.
