+Static and shared libraries
+===========================
+
+By default, your package *MUST* ship both static and shared libraries if
+applicable.
+
+If possible, the package should provide the option *STATIC* that should do the
+following if set to *yes*:
+
+- On library packages, disable generation of shared libraries,
+- On executables, build static binaries,
+- If the package provides both, do the two steps.
+
+This option should not be enabled by default unless absolutely necessary.
