Hi folks,

The attached patch has just been applied to the Ubuntu openvas-libraries
package, to null out the dependency_libs field in the libtool .la file being
shipped in the -dev package.  This is generally a good idea because it
avoids causing consumers of your library to require other .la files listed
here to be available at build time when they're not actually needed (i.e.,
in the dynamic linking common case).  It's specifically a good idea right
now because multiarch is imminent, and that means the .la files referenced
here are going to *move* soon, causing build failures for anything using
libtool to build against openvas-libraries.  As long as openvas-libraries is
going to need a rebuild to fix up the invalid .la references, it would be
nice to get rid of them altogether.

Thanks,
