Hi It is debhelper (or/and your debian/rules file) and not dpkg-buildpackage causing this issue. Have you checked whether it installs everything into debian/liblmmin-dev/ rather than debian/tmp/? Also, it is a release goal for Debian to get rid of ".la" files, so you should not include them in a new package. ~Niels
