Packages installing static libraries without the static-libs useflags
If the build system offers no way to disable them, installing static libs unconditionally is acceptable. Please do not encourage people to add a USE flag just to remove the libs in src_install.
This bug lacks a link to rationale.
Please note that the preferred solution here is to remove the static libs, unless you *know* they are needed (see bug URL), in which case consider a static-libs USE flag. But ideally just remove them.

But ideally just remove them. (remove as in 'don't build', but as last resort, remove in install phase)
