I can NMU with a revert if necessary?
A simple revert of 7c408ba0 seems to do the right thing. The Lintian warning comes back, but honestly I think that Lintian tag does more harm than good, so ignoring or overriding it seems proportionate. MR: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libgpg-error/-/merge_requests/3 or see attached. smcv

This change resulted in /usr/lib/*/libgpg-error.so being a dangling symlink on non-merged-/usr systems, notably all official buildd chroots, causing linking to the shared library to fail. For shared libraries that depend on libgpg-error, falling back to the static library also fails, because it isn't PIC, causing build failure. This reverts commit 7c408ba0968c14492b6f087c57c6d44af4878de6.
