Comment 1 for bug 727988

ScottK and bdrung suggest in irc that the package should be fixed to not include the .la file at all. This is current policy, and I agree that we should do that. However, as this bug is blocking the fix for Claws, I'd personally prefer to do this upload first now to unblock that. I offer to file a separate bug on the .la files, work on a fix, and submittodebian.
