Packages that use libtool to create shared libraries must include the _.la_ files in the _-dev_ packages, with the exception that if the package relies on libtool's _libltdl_ library, in which case the .la files must go in the run-time library package. This is a good idea in general, and especially for static linking issues. It seems to be suggesting that .la files in the run-time library package is a good idea in general, and even if I'm misreading that, they definitely go in if the libraries are used by something relying on libltdl. Or am I missing something? m.
