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

  * debian/rules: clean dependency_libs from la files per policy 10.2

Dear maintainer,

The attached patch has just been applied to the Ubuntu libzrtpcpp
package, to null out the dependency_libs field in the libtool .la file being
shipped in the -dev package.  This is generally a good idea because it
avoids causing consumers of your library to require other .la files listed
here to be available at build time when they're not actually needed (i.e.,
in the dynamic linking common case).  It's specifically a good idea right
now because multiarch is imminent, and that means the .la files referenced
here are going to *move* soon, causing build failures for anything using
libtool to build against libzrtpcpp.  As long as libzrtpcpp is
going to need a rebuild to fix up the invalid .la references, it would be
nice to get rid of them altogether.

Thanks for considering the patch.
