Bug#496859: *.la files reference libs which aren't guaranteed to be available

Package: libtinymail-camel-dev,libtinymail-maemo-dev
Version: 0.0.9-2
Severity: serious

        Hi,

 Packages using libtool to link against above tinymail libs will fail to
 build unless something pulls krb5-dev in the build-end.

 This is because the tinymail *.la files record -lkrb5, but the packages
 don't depend on it.

 The recommend solution is to either stop shipping *.la files (might
 break other *.la files in other packages referencing the libtinymail
 pkgs) or strip the dependency_libs="" line in them.

   Bye,
