Even though there is a report here that closes the bug, the package

It's been available for a very short time, look for git-core-dev in
/usr/share/doc/git-core/changelog.Debian.gz
Do you mean *was* available?
* debian/control, debian/rules: remove git-core-dev package again,
libgit.a is not a publically usable/useful library at this moment, as
its internal API is not cast in stone yet.
Is it likely that we'll see anything here ever? In other words, I have
a package that
depends on libgit that downloads git as part of the build--probably not
an acceptable
build methodology. Am I going to have an option to build it using
libgit from git-core?
It depends on upstream. Back then, Junio asked to not provide such a
library package in Debian, and I respect that. There've been some plans
and effort to stabilize the lib in the past, but I'm not sure about the
status.
Regards, Gerrit.
Would it be a compromise to provide libgit.a as a static library for
until it stabilizes?
