Please don't get me wrong, but did you check the NEW queue? I've uploaded ceph there[1] for more than two months. It's not processed yet, but I hope that the backlog of the queue is going to shrink as Squeeze is out.

Well, it's not entirely true. The exact wording[3] says "[...] For public libraries intended for use by other packages, these files normally should not be included in the Debian package, since the information they include is not necessary to link with the shared library on Debian and can add unnecessary additional dependencies to other programs or libraries. [...]". Of course please read the whole paragraph. In short, it's not 'you must remove all *.la files'; but yes, I should remove them as well. I hope I can check your packages today and may write an other mail.
