For all packages in Debian unstable (sid) that depend on libfribidi0, I
grep'ed for the symbols removed in 0.19.2. I found that 5 packages do
use some of the removed symbols. I've attached the grep result with this
email.

To summarize:

* bidiv & centerim use: fribidi_iso8859_8_to_unicode_c, fribidi_unicode_to_iso8859_8
* quesoglc uses: nFriBidiMirroredChars, fribidi_prop_to_type
* mailutils uses fribidi_wcwidth provided that HAVE_FRIBIDI_WCWIDTH is
  defined, I grep'ed for HAVE_FRIBIDI_WCWIDTH in both 0.19.2 & 0.10.9
  and I didn't find that
* text-bidi, which is a perl interface for libfribidi, uses many of
  those obsolete symbols of fribidi, yet declares them to be "private".
