Package test-only targets as static libraries
Abseil 20230125.3 exposes libraries that were formerly internal
(“test-only”) so that other packages’ unit tests can refer to them [1].
Some of the new libraries depend on Google Mock, which Debian only ships
as a static library; as a result, the new libraries can only be shipped
statically as well. Historically, however, Abseil’s Debian packaging has
linked Abseil’s unit tests dynamically to improve build speed. (Google
Mock was built as a one-off shared library during this process, but it
was only ever used in unit tests and was never shipped to users.) Static
Abseil builds were unaware that Google Mock existed, which prevented
sbuild from building the new libraries [2].
To rectify the situation, change Abseil’s Debian packaging to link
Abseil unit tests statically and to ship the new libraries as static
archives. Also make libabsl-dev recommend libgmock-dev, since the new
libraries are useless without a corresponding Google Mock build.
