Um, no. We have literally thousands of packages shipping static libraries (in addition to shared libraries). Policy §8.3 says: “The static library (‘<libraryname.a>’) is usually provided in addition to the shared version.”
(if a static library is really needed you might consider adding another -static binary package, instead of putting in the same binary, but this is up to you)
That would be very unusual. Policy §8.3 says static libraries should put into the -dev package.
