Yeah, it may be at that point -- the concern with a Lintian warning was
that we didn't want to have people remove them when other packages still
depended on them, and had at least one case of that which caused a bunch
of problems. But if we analyzed the *.la file and checked
dependency_libs, we could at least warn about that.
