FYI, that wasn't the correct thing to do.

Built-Using is for license compliance cases:

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#additional-source-packages-used-to-build-the-binary-built-using

Static-Built-Using is for other static linking or embedding cases.

The static linking wiki page needs updates for Static-Built-Using
and the predecessors of it used by the Rust and Golang packages.
