Per the FPC decision that libgnome-volume-control is not an acceptable
copylib, and therefore it has to be packaged as a static lib and
packages using it modified to use it, some questions:

1. who should be performing the modification?
2. presumably reviews of new packages depending on this would be blocked
until such a static lib is available?
3. presumably whereas legacy packages that have already gone in are
fine, we won't want to yank them

Best regards,
