I second this request. In contrast to your objection/warning, static
builds of current versions of gdk-pixbuf (and gtk3) work very well in my
experience. But they do not make much sense unless the loaders are also
linked statically. AFAIK, this requires one to configure gdk-pixbuf with

./configure (..) --disable-modules --with-included-
loaders=ani,icns,pcx,ras,tga,png,pnm,wbmp,xbm,xpm,qtif,bmp,gif,ico,jpeg,tiff,jasper

So in the worst case debuild would have to compile the package twice. I
believe that this can be circumvented with a simple patch though.
