There is also the part about: "packages that can install static and shared |
| 17 |
libraries should always be installing them." |

Which means either that this statement was meant for another context (and not |
| 20 |
in such a general meaning) or it says that there shouldn't/won't be a way to |
| 21 |
change this behavior. |
| 22 |
In case 1 this misses the point. (As Ciaran pointed out.) Since I was not |
| 23 |
specifically talking about the 'static' useflag. |
| 24 |
For case 2 I'm very interested in the reason. |
