NAK.  Wishlist bugs don't get freeze exceptions.

Bug#693939: libnl3: provide static libraries severity

[Ondřej Surý]

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).

Hi Ondřej,

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.
