Hi,

first of all thanks for noticing and raising this!

The balboa package provides /usr/bin/balboa-backend-console which is
statically linked against glibc.

glibc is mostly using a LGPL license which requires that the full source
code of the incorporating binary package be made available. According to
Debian Policy ยง7.8 [1] such a binary package MUST list the glibc source
package (and possibly others) in the Built-Using: field.

Please find attached a patch to fix that issue.

In the meantime I have been pointed out at dh-builtusing. Please find
attached a patch with that alternative.

Now that I look at it, I don't even see a reason why these binaries need to be built statically at all. I would prefer to just patch the Makefiles to create dynamically linked binaries, which I understand would also address the raised licensing issue, right?

Best regards
Sascha
