reassign 474891 asc
retitle 474891 asc should not link explicitly to libspeex.la
thanks


Hi,

I'm punting this one back to the asc developers, its build system
should be fixed to use a simple -lspeex instead of trying to do the
.la dance even when such a file is not present.  If you really want
a convoluted way to get '-lspeex', pkg-config is also supported, but
it's entirely unnecessary for a library as simple in its dependencies
as this one is.

Including the .la files with the Debian packages provides no practical
gain and a whole new dimension of ways that things can 'accidentally'
get screwed up by them.  I'm sorry that removing them broke your package,
but that bit wasn't accidental, so I think we should consider this a
lint check and fix asc in this case.

Cheers,
Ron
