Ok, so what about rpmlint warnings? Ignore them or bugzilla rpmlint?
IIRC Ville wanted to speak with upstream to allow *.a in
*-static. Maybe he'll comment on what rpmlint currently does and
whether upstream perhaps rejected this, or perhaps whether my memory
is segfaulting. :)

I don't care about one or the other name, but rpmlint does.
What does rpmlint say? I think the idea was to have all, but static
libs in *-devel and *.a in *-static.

Not at all. I have specific needs.
I think Ralf means that you are abusing Linux by computing numerical
models and doing serious number crunching. Go play a game ;)
