Already done. Here's the Lintian code.
# Some exceptions: files in /boot, /usr/lib/debug/*, named *-static or
# *.static, or *-static as package-name.
next if ($file =~ m%^./boot/%);
next if ($file =~ /(?:\.|-)static$/);
next if ($pkg =~ /-static$/);
# klibc binaries appear to be static.
next if ($objdump->{KLIBC});
# Location of debugging symbols.
next if ($file =~ m%^./usr/lib/debug/%);
# ldconfig must be static.
next if ($file eq './sbin/ldconfig');
tag "statically-linked-binary", "$file";

And file a bug if you think Lintian could be improved to catch that case.
