libbacktrace for Debian Upstream only builds a static library, but this package also builds a dynamic library in line with preferred practice. Depending packages can use either. The dynamic library has been built with -z now, (as well as the normal -z relro) in order to ensure linking occurs at runtime and the library works even when called from a signal handler.
