> - Remove static archives unless needed

Umm.. 
It seems that originally this package does not provide
any shared libraries but only a static archive. Then
you try to apply a patch to provide a shared library
with soname given by _you_.

This is actually problematic because we cannot tell if
ABI of the library really does not change when _upstream_ changes
from 0.4 to 0.5, for example.

(the whole discussion is very long)

Well, now we allow to provide static archives when it is
unavoidable. Would you check the section "Packaging Static Libraries"
of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines
(especially the subsection 
 "When a package only provides static libraries" ) and rewrite
your srpm?
