It is not mandatory for library packages to support use cases that require PIC; it is only mandatory that *if* they build shared libraries they are built using -fPIC. If that makes it impossible to package collectd, sorry, but RC bugs are still not an instrument with which to bludgeon maintainers into supporting your target use case. These bugs are still ok candidates for NMUs if you can provide patches that the maintainers don't object to and follow the NMU procedure in the devref.
