Bug#961417: RFS: libudfread/1.0.0-1 -- UDF reader library

[Vasyl Gello <vasek.gello@gmail.com>]

Hi Paul!

So static libs present in packages like popt are remnants of the past
and the general practice now is to discourage shipping all kinds of 
static libraries unless it is Go/OCaml…  as mentioned in this wiki page?

I looked at it before, but I try understanding what is considered best practices now.

I often link software statically, especially targeting Android.
So I guess keeping static library won't hurt as part of -dev
package.

Where dynamic libraries are available there are usually only downsides
to static libraries, in Debian we try to not distribute static
libraries unless there is a good reason.
