Sorry, but libgit.a is not a publically usable/useful library at
this moment, as its internal API is not cast in stone yet.

Installing it in /usr/lib and /usr/include would give the false
impression to the users that linking with user's programs is
supported and upgrading git won't break them.  Please do not
create libgit-dev package.
