I was wrong, both libgcrypt11-dev and libgpg-error-dev from Ubuntu do
install the .la files to /usr/lib, and just link them from /lib. But
according to Ubuntu natty Contents-amd64.gz[1], the following packages
only have .la in /lib:
libnih-dev, libnih-dbus-dev, libupsclient1-dev.
In Debian sid, as already written this is the case for the following
packages (according to amd64 Contents.gz[2]):
libnih-dev, libnih-dbus-dev, libsplashy1-dev
The following packages install development .a library to /lib in Debian
sid[3]:
libcap-dev, libgpib0-dev, libnih-dev, libnih-dbus-dev, plymouth-dev,
libupsclient1-dev
And the following packages install the unversioned .so link to /lib in
Debian sid [4, manually checked]:
libcap-dev, libcgroup-dev, libgpib0-dev, iptables-dev, libnss-lwres,
libnss-sss, plymouth-dev, libsplashy1-dev
