I'd consider that a bug of syslog-ng. I did remove the static libraries from
glib2 during the FC6 devel cycle, and then various people came out of the woods
and admitted that they had linked to glib2 statically (some initscripts things,
and at least one pam module). That was the reason we moved glib2 to /lib, so 
that we can stop shipping 5 statically linked copies of glib in /bin. But then
Jeremy said that static glib libraries are also needed for anaconda. Since it is
much harder to avoid static linking there, the static libaries were added back.

I would be willing to move the static libraries to a -static subpackage if that
helps.

One bug relevant to this is bug 191678.
