Hi, I'm writting to let you know that I strongly disagree with the position that the old package maintainer held. Even though Debian prefers shared libraries, Debian's preference on its internal policy should not block various external needs from users. I still consider this bug as a valid feature request. Now that I have taken over the package maintainership (and have it team- maintained under the Multimedia Team), I will accept patches for adding a static library but I do not have time to implement it myself. I strongly recommend having your patch sent to taglib upstream first and give a reference link in this bug report after that. Any help would be appreciated. -- Regards, Boyuan Yang
