I'm currently reviewing a request for Telepathy-Qt4, which currently only provides a static library: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=520663 It seems to me there are two different options: - rename package to telepathy-qt4-static -- might cause administrative hassle if and when upstream enables dynamically-linked libraries - keep it as before, and just leave the main package empty. Make -devel virtually Provides: -static. Should the -doc subpackage depend on -devel? Should it be called -devel-doc or -static-doc, or just -doc?
