Bug#902109: clasp: Please install static library (and build with -fPIC)

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: clasp
Version: 3.3.3-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

the attached patch does three things:

(1) Ship the static library in the package
(2) Make the package provide libclasp-dev (= ${binary:Version}), so packages can depend on that,
    in case we want to split it out
(3) makes clasp build with -fPIC, so we can link the static library into shared libraries

This will allow us to ship apt-solver-kalel[1] in Debian, and provide it as a shared library that
we can load into an apt process to avoid the overhead from EDSP and/or make it the default
solver.
