Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.8.3.0
Severity: wishlist
Unless I'm missing something, and I did a text search through Policy,
Policy is currently silent on the topic of statically linked binaries
other than a brief mention in a footnote on convenience copies of code.
I believe we should say that they're discouraged in general and are
normally only appropriate for shared library maintenance and recovery
tools (ldconfig, etc.) or for security tools.
ftpmaster currently requires that any statically linked binaries be
documented with a Lintian override.
