That bit in policy describs how to do it if needed, but it's a usually
discouradged practise.
https://wiki.debian.org/StaticLinking (ok, it's not that explicit, but
currently I seem to be unable to find any more better doc..)
long story short: I would not investigate it further, and leave it
without the static lib.
