<p>
Packages that use libtool to create shared libraries must
include the <em>.la</em> files in the <em>-dev</em>
+ packages, if it includes them at all. Dynamically loadable
+ modules that are created with libtool should not include
+ the .la file at all, since it is not needed.
- packages, with the exception that if the package relies on
- libtool's <em>libltdl</em> 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.
