Bug Description
More and more things are requiring linking against libsystemd. In particular, because dbus is now linked against libsystemd, anything that wants to make a dbus client call needs it. By not shipping a static libsystemd.a, all such users are prevented from building statically. This includes tools like the lxc-init container init, and stacker container build tool, which both want to be re-execed inside a container which may have completely different - or no - distro.
With the attached debdiff, libsystemd-dev ships a libsystem.a so tools can be built statically.
The package has been built (for lunar) with this debdiff at ppa:serge-

Thanks for preparing this patch, Serge. I have converted it into a git commit and will make sure it is in the next upload of systemd. I will also forward this to Debian, since this is something they will want too.
