the issue was fixed in debian in 2006, I guess it was forwarded to fltk upstream. You have to ask the debian maintainer about this. If upstreams provide tools that mess with the distributions infrastructure it is well within its right to touch them. the tool spouting out all libraries necessary to link statically caused reverse dependencies to gather unnecessary entries in their dt-needed table which is used to determine package interdependencies. So this causes unnecessary entangled dependency chains and increases the amount of work necessary for transitions. Also it masks bugs in other software like yours. If your application uses x11 libraries do not rely on fltk being linked against it and it being resolved indirectly, link against it yourself.
