Most packagers would not notice or care enough to remove static libs from the many packages where they are a complete waste of resources. In contrast, adding *.a to PURGE_TARGETS will definitely solve that problem in the long term without requiring anything from packagers - only those specific packages relying on static libs will need to add '!purge' to their options array. This seems the best solution to me. -- Gaetan
