Last time we disagreed on this topic my opinion was that static
linking should imply bundled provides:

    Provides: bundled(<as usual>) = <crate or module version>

Hopefully something that could be automated for some stacks. To me
there is no difference between bundling source code and bundling arch
code, since most of the time I have seen it in action it was more a
feat of vendoring for internal usage rather than actually providing a
duplicate something to be consumed by others. And it would solve the
post-CVE system inspection problem.
