We're talking of two packages only: packagesearch and adept. packagesearch is made by Benjamin Mesing, who follows this list. adept is made by Peter "Mornfall" Rockai, who's the main libapt-front author and follows this list. Language bindings are not existing anymore after the merge with libapt-front and will need to be redone; hopefully, by people who read this list :) So, yeah, things seem to be easy. Having the -dev,-pic versions also means that packages already installed on users' machines will continue to work because they're linked statically. In the meantime, Mornfall created a cdbs class that does the double build. It should work for libapt-front; I don't know if it works for tagcoll since tagcoll would also create the tagcoll package and not just static libraries.
