[csw-buildfarm] [csw-maintainers] FYI: Temporarily deactivation .la-files

[Eric J Korpela]

In some cases I'm having the opposite problem because of missing
dependencies that were supposed to be in the .la files of packages
where the .la files were not installed.

Shouldn't problems in .la files be reported as bugs to the package
maintainers?  If a package includes them it's up the the maintainers
to see that they are correct, no?
