it seems that many people think that "Built-Using" can be used to express static linking (including yours truly, even though i *know* that it is meant for license compliance only).
which makes me wonder: probably we should have an additional field that expresses such static linking (and therefore would trigger a rebuild when the dependency changes). or we could finally accept that many¹ people would just use "Built-Using" for this anyhow, and explicitly allow such use.
