E.g. /usr/lib/kde3/kded_kdeprintd.la contains | dependency_libs=' ... /usr/lib/libkio.la ... ' --> /usr/lib/libkio.la is needed at runtime and must be in a main package. Saying that packager has to decide on a case-by-case base does not help; e.g. when he ships 'libfoo.la' in -devel, a year later somebody else might create a module with "dependency_libs='/usr/lib/libfoo.la'" which would require 'libfoo.la' to be in a main-package. A rule like | MUST: a .la libtool archive MUST NOT list other .la archives in its | 'dependency_libs' list might be a solution, but I am not sure if this rule is complete.
