I don't fully grasp your problem: if unbound does not link against
libunbound, upgrading the unbound package would not need to update the
libunbound package.

But if a fix is applied to unbound-libs, the unbound daemon will still
be using an old copy. Also, the results of unbound vs unbound-host could
then be different.

As a rule, it is always bad to have duplicatated staticly linked code
from a dynamic library into any executable - it becomes unmanagable.

To avoid this, I will make unbound depend on unbound-libs of the identical
version so that we keep the daemon and libraries in sync with each other.

It is of course possible to use the library dynamically, but probably
unbound links statically for performance optimization reasons.

Can you explain those to me?
