Bug#583387: no longer shipping static libraries causes cryptsetup FTBFS

[Jonas Meurer]

Package: libdevmapper-dev
Version: 2:1.02.47-1
Severity: grave

hey,

the most recent upload of lvm2 source package, which removed static
libraries from the lib*-dev packages breaks build process of cryptsetup.

cryptsetup staticly links against libdevmapper, as the library is
located in /usr/lib, and cryptsetup needs to be invoked before /usr is
mounted. please either bring brack the static library, or move the
dynamic library to /lib.

unfortunately i just uploaded a new version of cryptsetup which failed
to build on all architectures for that reason. thus a prompt fix would
be much appreciated.

don't know if other packages are affected as well.

greetings,
 jonas
