Thank you for your patch. However, I'm unsure as to why the .la file is
useless on Debian? The Debian Policy manual[0] says:

Packages that use libtool to create shared libraries should include the
.la files in the -dev package

So correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the solution to the problem is
to simply correct the dependencies of libsynce as I've done[1] and is
now pending upload?

Hmm... You're right, policy says so.

.la are useless IMHO because all they provide is the workarounds for the
systems with inferior linkers and shared libraries, and GNU toolkit is
ok regarding libraries dependencies tracking and runtime linking.

Anyway, policy says .la should be included, so let it be included.
