+Tag: embedded-library
+Severity: error
+Check: libraries/embedded
+Explanation: The given ELF object appears to have been statically linked to
+ a library. Doing this is strongly discouraged due to the extra work
+ needed by the security team to fix all the extra embedded copies or
+ trigger the package rebuilds, as appropriate.
+ .
+ If the package uses a modified version of the given library it is highly
+ recommended to coordinate with the library's maintainer to include the
+ changes on the system version of the library.
