Yep, indeed. I initially planned to work on this bug yesterday, but dist-upgrading was taking ages, and someone else reassigned the bug before I could give it a try. > Including the .la files with the Debian packages provides no practical > gain and a whole new dimension of ways that things can 'accidentally' > get screwed up by them.

I've also removed some .la files from some other packages, and I guess it's quite a good idea to try and rebuild reverse B-D to see which break, so as to be able to issue an advanced warning to the other maintainers. That's at least what I did for graphviz, and what I plan to do for the next upstream release of libgphoto2, for example. Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
