Bug#693939: libnl3: provide static libraries severity
Hi release-team, it might not be in violation of Debian policy to not provide static libraries, but I would still consider this as important with freeze-exception because it is easily fixable, does not introduce anything new library wise, and it prevents successful using of -dev package to link static binaries (which is not common, but still needed sometimes). http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693939 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693940 So I would ask you kindly to consider allowing to fix this bug (e.g. freeze-exception).

Bug#693939: libnl3: provide static libraries
control: severity -1 normal Debian policy says: The static library (libraryname.a) is usually provided in addition to the shared version. It is placed into the development package (see below). "usually" does not mean "must", so this is not a policy violation. Best wishes, Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

it seems this command was not sucessful, as both bugs are still at severity
normal.

I would follow your argument and the issue seems easily fixable by the change
blow. The only question would be about the severity, aka it getting a freeze
exception, as policy only say "is usually provided", which I don't read as a
clear must but as a "really should".
Therefore I'd added debian-release to get this hopefully answered.
