You have a separate -dev package too... If you were to only have a static version of the library (which I would strongly discourage, fwiw, regardless of what upstream says, but still), there is no reason to have two packages, everything could and should be in the -dev. Static libraries belong in the -dev, not in the normal package[1]. Also, any package depending on libatomic-ops will now break because the .so simply disappeared. There is no such package in Debian, but still. Also, you moved the static libraries without adding a proper Replaces: field, breaking all upgrades. I suggest dropping the libatomic-ops binary package, moving the .a's back. You could add a replaces for people who managed to upgrade regardless too.
