How many packages use *.la files for run time?
1? Under 5? Under 10?
My guess is that the number of packages is so small, that the best
solution might be to separate the *.la and *.so files into a separate
package (I think the *.so sym-link is required too)[1].
That way, multiple versions of the library don't conflict and can be
installed at the same time, but normal users don't have to install the
-dev package either.
