Does anyone else like to add something?

I've slept about this, and I'm starting to feel bad. If the autoqa guys
had blogged about such a test for static lib packaging, I'm sure there
would be a lobby who praises them.

This check of whether static libs are packaged correctly is automated,
including the tracking and closing of bugzilla tickets. In my opinion the
guidelines are clear [1], I've been responsive to answer early questions.
But apparently it's too easy to slam a door and hide somewhere. "binutils"
is not the only troublemaker. "e2fsprogs" has been reported two months ago
without a response.
