Static libraries - PIC or PIE?

Hi Bálint, there is some confusion regarding how static libraries should be compiled now. Your bugs (e.g. #837350) say "Please build libfoo.a with -fPIC". Why do these say -fPIC and not -fPIE? My current understanding is that a binNMU would recompile the the static library with PIE (not
