Package: libgpg-error
Version: 1.10-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]

Hi José Carlos,

I've just updated libgpg-error in Ubuntu from the version in Debian testing,
and noticed that the -dev package still has a libtool .la file in it.  As
explained at <http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/LAFileRemoval>, it would
be best to remove this file from the package altogether:

 - libgpg-error has no other lib dependencies, so it provides no advantages
   for static linking
 - according to http://release.debian.org/~aba/la/current.txt, there are no
   other .la files in the archive that reference it
 - even if there were, since the .la file's location has now moved on disk
   to the multiarch directory, any such references would currently be broken

So this seems like a good time for the .la file to be removed from the
package, to avoid any other packages *gaining* a dependency on it.

Please see the attached (trivial) patch for this, which I've applied in
Ubuntu precise.

Thanks for considering,
