[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#773339: libzeep: fix linking order for ld --as-needed

Package: libzeep
Version: 3.0.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

In Ubuntu, we use ld --as-needed by default in the toolchain, and your package causes dependent packages to fail to build from source because of the way libraries are linked.

Even though Debian doesn't use ld --as-needed by default, it is a good idea to make this change so that (1) we don't have to maintain a delta and (2) you don't need to change anything in case Debian makes this default in the future.

You can read more about this option here: https://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking#Only_link_with_needed_libraries

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * debian/patches/linking-order.diff: Fix linking order to make sure
    libraries come after objects (to satisfy ld --as-needed).

Thanks for considering the patch.

Logan Rosen
