Please don't get me wrong, but did you check the NEW queue? I've
uploaded ceph there[1] for more than two months. It's not processed yet,
but I hope that the backlog of the queue is going to shrink as Squeeze
is out.

I've also packaged it a while ago and also uploaded to the NEW

Well, it's not entirely true. The exact wording[3] says "[...] For
public libraries intended for use by other packages, these files
normally should not be included in the Debian package, since the
information they include is not necessary to link with the shared
library on Debian and can add unnecessary additional dependencies to
other programs or libraries. [...]". Of course please read the whole
paragraph.
In short, it's not 'you must remove all *.la files'; but yes, I should
remove them as well. I hope I can check your packages today and may
write an other mail.
Cheers,
