Package: liblxc-common
Version: 1:5.0.2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 7.8

Dear maintainer,

The liblxc-common package provides /usr/sbin/init.lxc.static which is
statically linked against glibc.

glibc is mostly is mostly licensed under the LGPL, which requires that
the full source code of the incorporating binary package be made
available. According to Debian Policy §7.8 [1] such a binary package
MUST list the glibc source package (and possibly others) in the
Built-Using: field.

Regards
Aurelien
