Hi Nick,

Did you read the referenced Debian bug report? It explains that
dropping the .la files could break any package that Depends on
jack and uses .la files.

One approach to testing for this would be to just upload the change
and see what breaks, but it is probably better to try and catch
problems before they happen.

Checking the file lists of all packages that depend on jack (recursively)
for .la files would be a good way to narrow down the list of what
packages may be affected. Would you be able to do that?

Thanks,

James
