Lintian tag: embedded-library

Type: error

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The given ELF object appears to have been statically linked to a library.
Doing this is strongly discouraged due to the extra work needed by the
security team to fix all the extra embedded copies or trigger the package
rebuilds, as appropriate.

If the package uses a modified version of the given library it is highly
recommended to coordinate with the library's maintainer to include the
changes on the system version of the library.

Please refer to Embedded code copies (Section 4.13) in the Debian Policy
Manual for details.
