Currently, static libraries (.a) are removed from the package as this is the default in makepkg.conf.
People like me may need them for some packages such as Qt because when making an app and distributing it it might be better to distribute only the executable in some cases.

e.g. https://blog.qt.io/blog/2015/02/17/qt-weekly-26-protecting-your-application-against-hacking/

I do not want to rebuild the entire qt5 packages without staticlibs every time there is an update, it takes a very long time to build them on my system.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  Arch doesn't ship static libs, no reason to make an exception for Qt
