This causes two problems. First, changing the libraries requires recompiling any binaries that use them. Second, [http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html Debian policy] requires shared libraries to be compiled with -fPIC and static libraries without; that means that static libraries may not be linked into shared libraries, and indeed this causes problems on some architectures (at least amd64).
