Yes I just talked about this with Hugo doria

syslog-ng needs libcap as static as others libs like glib2 openssl zlib,
eventlog, etc... because is compiled in mixed mode

So there are important issue here:

many deps (that need to be in the [core], small binary

VS
(the current behaviour)
few deps (only glibc), big binary (~2MB) + security issues (if any of
static lib is afected and this pkg inst recompiled) + more memory usage
(this is very small in these days of course)


Also there is an open task for this without attention [#1]
