Updated the list and put it on http://alius.ayous.org/~aba/la-view.txt and updated in () the packages that depend on the current package. Also I was asked how I go the "dependend-on" information. I got it by actually looking into the la-files (and of course there are also great dependencies like on /build/buildd-speech-dispatcher_0.6.7-4-i386-1NmUM9/speech-dispatcher-0.6.7/debian/speech-dispatcher/usr/lib/libspeechd.la but well ...), so the information is mostly accurate (the bad thing on *.la files is that we don't know which ones will really make us trouble, until it is too late).
