Okay. If picking only required is making things complex. I can update the
cmake patch. But they must be updated with every release even though the
patch can be applied without rejects. Moreover, cmake patch would never get
into upstream and I thought that add burden of package maintainers.

All it does is creating a static library called ossimstatic. But this was
not installed in a separate .install files and IIRC, the build seems to
ignore it. It gives me libossim.a instead of libossimstatic.a

Maybe a static ossim might be required for some other debian packages.

If package must give both static and shared libs, should we add another
package libossimstatic  in debian/control to keep it clean ?

I would prefer not to keep static and shared in same package if asked. ;)

@Fankie,
any comments ?
