Severity: normal

Dear Maintainers,

During the bump to dh13 a couple of years back the static libs were
removed from all *-dev packages[0].
This change has the unfortunate side-effect of making it impossible to
actually use the libraries in static builds (e.g. when building for
minimal container scenarios).

It would be great if we could either re-introduce them or at least add
a comment explaining the reasoning behind the removal (to avoid future
me bumping into this again ;))


Thanks!
