Bug#342889: Propagates dependencies needlessly
Package: libwv2-dev
Version: 0.2.2-4
Severity: important
The output of "wv2-config --libs" includes a number of libraries which are
only needed when building static binaries; this causes unnecessary direct
library dependencies in Debian packages like "kword" whose sources rely on
wv2-config output, which is undesirable; see
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/11/msg00016.html
Please introduce a "--static" option to provide options suitable for static
linking and have "--libs" output just "-lwv2".
