In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * debian/*-dev.install: Stop shipping la files per Policy 10.2

Dear Maintainer,

gnuift ships libtool la files in dev packages. They can simply be
removed since thay are not refered to from other packages.

See: http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/LAFileRemoval
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/08/msg00808.html
http://release.debian.org/~aba/la/current.txt

Thanks for considering the patch.
