Recently The patch 0007-Update-src-base-absl.gyp.patch was added to use abseil as a shared library. It's something upstream recommended against on https://github.com/google/mozc/issues/490 ' For abseil, it's frequently updated, so we'd like to use the specific version.' Currently libabseil doesn't have a stable ABI as indicated in that packaging commit https://salsa.debian.org/debian/abseil/-/commit/c52743b9 Depending on a library which is going to change soname which every upload is likely to create stability issue for mozc, wouldn't it make sense to stick to a test version as recommended upstream? Thanks,
