Source: util-linux Version: 2.38.1-5+b1 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!
