Issue: sys-apps/kbd misses USE=static-libs and installs '.a' files.
Discovered on: amd64  (internal ref: ci)

The best solution is avoid to build the '.a' files by touching the configure. In case the buildsystem makes your life hard, a good compromise would be just remove the files.

NOTE: If you want to change the summary, to avoid auto-filed duplicates, please at least keep the word 'static-libs'

Issues like this comes from an automatic check.

It looks like with FEATURES="test" it installs more files:

amd64 (CHROOT) ~ $ qlist -e =sys-apps/kbd-2.3.0 | grep lib64
/usr/lib64/libtswrap.a
/usr/lib64/libtswrap.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib64/libtswrap.la
/usr/lib64/libtswrap.so.1
/usr/lib64/libtswrap.so
