Subject: freecdb: does not provide a shared library

Package: freecdb
Version: 0.62
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 8

freecdb does not provide a shared library, even though policy requires
it to do so. This leads to bugs like #243007 (making vpopmail RC-buggy)
and possibly others.

If there is some good reason for freecdb not to be a shared library
(Policy 8.3), at the very least there should be a freecdb_pic version,
but I can't see any such reason.
