Furthermore, it is a security maintaince problem. KDE doesn't need static library, and don't use static library when a dynamic library is available. And .la isn't a static library, but a libtool archive which is needed by libtool to properly link. In KDE4/KOffice2, libtool isn't used and therfore the problem has been "fixed", but for KDE3/KOffice 1.x, the only solution is to use the liblcms.la file (which in itself doesn't cause a security maitenance).
