Bug Description

[Impact] Causes sawfish-ui to fail to run and sawfish to fail to build. I need to fix this in order to fix bug 1083260.
[Test Case] Build the sawfish package.
[Regression Potential] rep-gtk is only used by sawfish as far as I know, so if sawfish works then it should be fine.

Original report follows:

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/684443:

Package: rep-gtk
Version: 1:0.90.0-2.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
sawfish-ui, from the sawfish package, requires the file

    /usr/lib/rep/i486-pc-linux-gnu/gui/gtk-2/gtk.la

to function properly.

Unfortunately the new packaging of rep-gtk omits the .la file.

I'd suggest to include the .la file while removing the dependency_libs
part, as explained in:
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=633274>

Thanks in advance.

Ciao,
Michele

  * Non-maintainer upload.
