My "solution" to the problem would be to create
libwhatever-la packages which contains .la file only,
if other runtime binaries want them.
It has other implications, and probably technically most clean,
but some people might disagree.
Nevertheless, it creates a lot of packages just for the
sake of ltdl, which might be used or not used.
I am not confident enoughif it's better than using "Replaces" on
every libwhatever* package, but it is probably
cleaner.
