One issue with separate, auto-generated -devel-static packages - how
do you handle dependencies? Or do you just handwave around the fact
that (for example) kudzu-devel requires pciutils-devel?
"foo-devel-static" always requires "foo-devel" .
"foo-devel" itself can require some another "-devel" packages, for
example "bar-devel". But it does not mean that "foo-devel-static"
strongly requires "bar-devel-static", because the user might want to
link statically just some of the libraries...
If someone does static linking (a "non-standard" and "non-recommended"
thing), we may assume that either such a user, or his/her admin are
"advanced enough", therefore it was not too hard for them to pre-install
all the static libs they need.
BTW, what about "-debug" subpackages? Are there a way to install all
"-debug" stuff automatically?
