Yes, for anybody who wants to statically link the GLX OpenGL library
:) Most other -dev packages in Debian provide static libraries, since
they're very useful for testing.
My specific use case is in making an interposer library. I need to
re-export hundreds of OpenGL functions unchanged while providing
replacements for a couple; it is possible to do this using dlopen, but
unwieldy since I must write a stub for every function. Having a
static library available would make this trivial.
