I am not against removing them, but just deleting them in the specs at
this point won't work (it would have worked at the beginning of the
fork, we'd import packages without .la at all, if only this issue was
raised 8months ago :)). It's an inter-dependency circle of hell; it'll
have to be done in the chroot, by a helper script run as root to clean
the dependency_libs field in .la files from .la deps.
(What I said is still generally true, if you want to build a "proper"
package you should do it in a clean chroot, which, of course, you
already know :p).
