I agree the .la files should get fixed.  And I've started a
discussion with that with upstream libtool.  See:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2005-12/msg00021.html

I hope we can get that fixed soon.

Anyway, as long as your package in binNMU'able, I think this
shouldn't cause much problems.
