Upstream has repeatedly stated that they don't support building static
libraries, and --enable-static is explicitly switched off ("configure:
error: --enable-static is not supported by systemd"). If you have a
proper use case for that, you are welcome to discuss that
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel . But this
is quite some work, and please understand that I won't work on that
myself -- we have no use case for that in Ubuntu (or Debian) and want to
discourage static linking.

I'm happy to do the packaging bits if/once systemd supports static
libraries, then we can reopen this downstream bug.

Thanks for your understanding!
