Bug#537769: Check that .la files are in -dev and not binary package

[Niels Thykier]

tags 537769 wontfix
thanks

Hi

Considering it is a release goal to get .la files removed (where
possibly) and this bug conflicts with #586313 I have decided to mark
this as wontfix.
  I will probably close this bug in 14 days (or more) if there have been
no decent arguments for keeping this open.

~Niels

Only if there source package builds a -dev, but even in that case it might
be wrong.

But even then, this check is more complex than it may sound at first,
since .la files are in binary packages while only the source package's
debian/control file knows what binary packages are built.

It should complain about any la file period. :)
