Package: libgeos-dev

i've just tried to build spatialite (a spatial extension to sqlite3),
but it needs libgeos.la, which is unfortunately missing from libgeos-dev.
best regards,

This is a feature, not a bug. One of the squeeze goals is removing
all libtool helpers which rely strictly on the libtool version
used to create them. You need to rely on pkg-config or other similar
helpers to find out the correct building options.
So, adding a .la file when not *strictly* required is an RC bug.
And that's exactly the case for geos which provides geos-config --libs.
Note that spatialite is provided in sid anyway, and correctly patched
for that. AFAIK, Sandro Furieri will patch in the same way upstream
package in the next release.
