I'm not for removing, I'm more for not introducing them in the first
place.

Recent problem (fail to find the bugno, sry), libjack-dev used to ship a
.la file, which has been dropped. Other libraries that can use jack
still referenced the jack.la in their own .la fail, which rendered
application to FTBFS. Solution: recompile the intermediate libraries to
drop the reference .la file.

As said, aybe I'm really just overexaggerating here and try to be too
cautious. alure seems a really small library with rather few users, so
it probably doesn't matter here.
