Bug Description

In debian/ubuntu, it is required to purge the dependency list of .la files or to remove it:

$ lintian ubuntuone-client-gnome_1.7.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
E: ubuntuone-client-gnome: non-empty-dependency_libs-in-la-file usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/libubuntuone.la
E: ubuntuone-client-gnome: non-empty-dependency_libs-in-la-file usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-ubuntuone.la

$ lintian-info --tags non-empty-dependency_libs-in-la-file
E: non-empty-dependency_libs-in-la-file
N:
N: The dependency_libs field in the .la file has not been cleared. It has
N: long been a release goal to get rid of unneeded .la files and clearing
N: the dependency_libs field from the rest of them.
N:
N: A non-empty dependency_libs field will also stall the Multi-Arch
N: conversation.
N:
N: The .la file in itself may be useful, if the library is loaded
N: dynamically via libltdl.
N:
N: Refer to http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/LAFileRemoval,
N: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/05/msg01003.html, and
N: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/05/msg01146.html for
N: details.
N:
N: Severity: serious, Certainty: certain
N:

I'm thus settings this to critical and reject the current binary package
