debian-rules-uses-as-needed-linker-flag
The debian/rules
file for this package uses the
-Wl,--as-needed
linker flag.
The bullseye toolchain defaults to linking with --as-needed
and
therefore it should no longer be necessary to inject this into the
build process.
However, it is not safe to make this change if the package will target the buster distribution such as via backports to the buster-bpo / stable-bpo distribution or, during the bookworm cycle itself, the oldstable-bpo distribution.
