Yes, I know what they are used for. But the depency information can be wrong
sometimes. For instance, the file libvorbisfile.la contains this line:

# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=' -lm -L/lib -logg'

But if I want to link with libvorbisfile it doesn't work because libvorbis.so
is also required.
