I think they should either be seperated, or dropped out of the package.
I think seperating them, but with a warning in the description that the
ABI isn't stable would be boot.  At least that means only when you want
to play with them do you waste space on them.

I really would rather not have header files and static libraries installed
when I install quagga.  I suppose I could patch the package locally and
rebuild it to get rid of them, but that's pretty annoying to maintain.

I don't think having them in the main package does anything to discourage
linking against the libraries.

I have no problem with that.
