Bug#337025: libgtksourceview-dev does not ship .a, static linking of libgtksourceview is not possible

[Stefano Zacchiroli]

Package: libgtksourceview-dev
Version: 1.4.2-1
Severity: important

  $ dpkg -L libgtksourceview-dev | grep '\.a$'
  $

How am I supposed to statically link libgtksourceview in end-user
applications? Since gtksourceview is not so widespread it would be a
good idea to enable its static linking ...

Cheers.
