Dear Maintainer,

pocketsphinx autopkgtest is building the source again to build the testcode.
And while building the testcode, its not using the libpocketsphinx5 or libpocketsphinx-dev
from the installed package. Instead it is using the libpocketsphinx.a that has been generated
during the source build in the autopkgtest.

It is quite evident from the autopkgtest log at https://ci.debian.net/packages/p/pocketsphinx/unstable/amd64/69576816/#L3295

 74s /usr/bin/cc -g -O2 -Werror=implicit-function-declaration -ffile-prefix-map=/tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.mg_m_r1w/downtmp/build.E4S/src=. -fstack-protector-strong -fstack-clash-protection -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fcf-protection -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--dependency-file=CMakeFiles/test_heap.dir/link.d CMakeFiles/test_heap.dir/test_heap.c.o -o ../../../test_heap  ../../../libpocketsphinx.a -lm

and I can see that its building with '../../../libpocketsphinx.a'.
I am unable to find a single '-lpocketsphinx' in the log which implies that the installed package was not used in the test.

apologies, version was wrong.
Its found in 5.0.4-3
