I’d be all for a lintian warning for packages shipping a .la with a
non-empty dependency_libs field. However, adding a warning asking to
remove all .la files is a recipe for other disasters like the libogg
one.

If we manage to clean up all dependency_libs fields before the squeeze
release, we can then remove all .la files in squeeze+1 without breaking
anything in the meantime. I’ve requested to add something to fix this in
#534966 but have received no answer so far.
