I thought you'd like that ;-)

I discussed something similar for xlibs-static-dev with the release team. I
was planning on splitting the static libs in to their own packages, but
keep them as static libs. xlibs-static-dev would hang around for a little
while longer as a metapackage depending on them. I'm not sure if I'd kill
that metapackage before etch, since it's got a lot fewer dependencies than
xlibs-dev.
Why haven't the current static libs not been made shared in the past? Still
undergoing changes too fast? I also have no idea how to transition a static
lib to a shlib, so I'm going to have to do some libtool reading if that's
going to happen.
