These are sources, so you need to check all binary packages of these
sources. I didn't check all of these sources, I was just saying that
you can't just look at packages build-depending on libfoo-dev, you also
have to look at packages which build-depend on something pulling
libfoo-dev since dependency_libs= pulls all libs recursively. Under
these there's evolution-dev for example and it ships *.la files
(perhaps that the only one shipping *.la files, and even if its *.la
files reference libebook, you can ignore them as these are below
/usr/lib/evolution/2.6, so the case of evolution-dev seems closed).
Personally, I'm looking at the rdeps of -dev library, if there's no
-dev rdep, or all rdeps don't have *.la files anymore, then it's ok to
remove them, otherwise there was a missing dependency in the first
place.

Same remark, I didn't check all of them, perhaps nothing in the rdeps
has *.la files that depend on the *.la files from e-d-s-dev, but this
has to be checked recursively (and this is what I usually check as
explained above).
