Some packages need it, but it's rare and possibly there's ways to
avoid it. Now if I remembered which package that was...

commit fdfa5c42c8e20178e884a91a2366eb9a723dab02
Author: Christoph Berg <christoph.berg@credativ.de>

    Move libpgport.a, libpgcommon.a, and libpgfeutils.a from libdir to pkglibdir

    These static libraries are server-version dependant (though many
    functions are compatible), so move them from $libdir to $pkglibdir, i.e.
    from /usr/lib/<triplet> to /usr/lib/postgresql/NN/lib.

    Install usr/lib/*/libpgfeutils.a
