We know what .la files are.  They are internal metadata maintained and
used by libtool, that everyone _except_ libtool shouldn't need to care
about.  Talking about a .la file when you aren't libtool is a layering
violation of sorts.

I'd suggest becoming accustomed to using either 'pkg-config --libs
neon' or 'neon-config --libs', rather than 'neon-config --la-file'.
Referring directly to a .la file outside libtool is not useful in
Debian, if indeed it is useful anywhere.
