hi,

i just asked myself why we do not make use of --as-needed. While
searching the web i ended up with the following Blog entries by Ulrich
Drepper, which do pretty well explain when to use --as-needed and in
which cases it leads to problems:

 http://udrepper.livejournal.com/10946.html
 http://udrepper.livejournal.com/11056.html

it might be handy to have this information covered within the developers
reference somewhere.

bye,
    - michael

hi,

I'm sorry noone responded to this bug in almost 17 years. 

I'm closing this bug report now, as --as-needed is enabled by default
since bullseye with debhelper 9, see

https://wiki.debian.org/HardeningWalkthrough#debhelper_9

this was prepared around 2010 as the page history of
https://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking#Only_link_with_needed_libraries
shows.

so only two packages set it today in d/rules:
