I think that it's encouraging people to abuse triggers. In essence a
trigger is useful to configure something for the package that activates
the file trigger or at least something for the package that is
activated.
I don't see what you would "configure" by matching *.la files. So for now
I think it's a bad idea and you would have to come up with a good use case
and a good rationale before I accept such a patch.
