OK, I see this is stated in the description of the package: Description: GNU binary utilities (BFD development files) This package includes header files and static libraries necessary to build programs which use the GNU BFD library, which is part of binutils. Note that building Debian packages which depend on the shared libbfd is Not Allowed. I'll remove need of using libbfd-dev since it seems to be an optional safety feature. -- Localise input and output in subroutines. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plauger)

I am not familiar enough with CMake to understand how to statically link to a given library while using dynamic linking for the remaining. Also, why provide dynamic libraries we cannot use? -- The better part of valor is discretion. -- William Shakespeare, "Henry IV"
Bug#980438: do not depend on the non-public binutils ABI
Package: src:bpftrace Version: 0.11.3-4 Severity: serious Tags: sid bullseye bpftrace should not depend on the non-public binutils ABI. This always generated an upper dependency on libbinutils. If you think it's worth having this dependency, please statically link with libbinutils and record the the version used in a Built-Using flag.
