[Bug 473680] [NEW] libogg.la should not be included

[Robert Massaioli]

Public bug reported:

I am trying to rebuild fuppes UPnP Media Server of Karmic and the
problem is that libsimage-dev wrongfully includes libogg.la:

$ grep "libogg.la" /usr/lib/*.la
/usr/lib/libsimage.la:dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libsndfile.la /usr/lib/libFLAC.la -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libvorbisfile.la /usr/lib/libvorbis.la /usr/lib/libogg.la /usr/lib/libtiff.la -lc -lpng -lz /usr/lib/libjpeg.la /usr/lib/libgif.la -lm'
$

However, debian is removing all .la files on purpose. And as a result:

$ dpkg -L libogg-dev | grep "a$"
/usr/lib/libogg.a
$

Which shows that it is true, it is no longer present. simage needs to be
packaged properly and without the reference to libogg.la.
