I try to
1. follow Debian Library Packaging guide[2] (if it might be considered
outdated we should probably review this guide
It doesn't mean that the static library must be built. An overwhelming majority of our -dev packages don't contain a static library.
But yeah, it's 19 years old.
2. try to not change to much on a package that is not actually my own
and keep it as close as the original maintainer has designed the package
Catch-22.
I guess that's one of the problems with updating someone else's packages
to an upstream version that is 9 years newer.
