Re: itp: static bins / resolving static debian issues
Hi,
Despite your long answer to my last mail, this will be the last thing I say
in this thread about this matter. It really boils down to it.

I don't deny a critical redundancy when its cost is absolutely negligible.
I deny that the redundany of static libraries in the default Debian system
is "critical" for almost all users.
I deny that the cost is absolutely negligible for quite a lot of users.
Therefore I disagree with your assessment of the situation.
As you can't convince me otherwise with the arguments you start to repeat
over and over again (although in colourful variations), and because I can't
you convince otherwise as you are not concerned with the problems building a
general purpose distribution, there is really no point in further discussion.
Here is a last hint: Debians philosophy (and therefore the implementation
of Debian policy) is not to provide everything for all users in the default
system. The trick is to provide a default system you can easily build your
personalised unix system upon.
