We have a C API, but (internal) C++ template instantiations are visible
and so get flagged by `dpkg-gensymbols`. This change ignores the one
use of C++ by marking it optional. This is listed as a usage scenario
in the dpkg-gensymbols man page.
Note this requires a change how we call dpkg-gensymbols: if the `-O`
parameter is specified, the file is not treated as being a template file
(see man deb-src-symbols) and so the tags are not interpreted.
Additionally the file gets overwritten with the non-tag version. So this
change removes the `-O` parameter, and changes the archiving of the
generated file.
