I vaguely recall that static linking is considered a bad idea in Debian,
for much the same reasons that embedded code copies are, but I can't
find this actually written down anywhere.
I'm working on packaging pocl (ITP #676504), which uses libllvm and
libclang. Dynamically linking libclang makes the package
non-functional; dynamically linking libllvm works, but upstream don't
recommend it due to https://github.com/pocl/pocl/issues/46 .
Are those sufficient reasons to link statically, and if so, do I need to
register having done so somewhere (i.e. "if you update libclang/libllvm,
please binNMU pocl")?
