Remove .la files

Goal description

In the past, we discovered quite a few RC bugs due to dependencies hidden in .la-files, or noticed that these .la files introduced unneeded dependencies. As they are usually not needed on Debian systems, we would like to remove them.

A longer explanation and the corresponding discussion can be found at http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/08/msg00783.html.

As dependency_libs mentions absolute paths, it'll break multiarch.
