3- and 2-clause BSD (without the advertising clause) are compatible to the GPL. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses > 2.

That's pretty easy to fix: *Don't* ship .la files :) They cause too much problems so most packages dropped them. I'm not sure if there is already an official recommendation to do this. But it is common. But if your package installs arch-dependent files into /usr/share, this is clearly a bug in your package you have to fix. If you can provide the build-logs (use debuild and pdebuild) I will take a look at them to check, why the locations differ.
