Subject: bug#30006: bzip2 does not provide libbz2.so
Date: Sat, 06 Jan 2018 14:29:00 +0100

Our current bzip2 package does not provide libbz2.so:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ls $(guix build bzip2)/lib
libbz2.a  libbz2.so.1.0  libbz2.so.1.0.6
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Consequently, software that uses libbz2 always ends up
statically-linking it.  Thus, security issues in libbz2 cannot be
grafted.
