If I rebuild it now, it's actually not there anymore.  So you can
just remove it.

The reason it could end up in the .la file is:
- You linked to to it with -ltasn1 or something.
- You linked to some other library that had an .la
  file and that had libtasn1.la in it's depedency_libs
  already.

If it was the first case, you would need to build-depend on it,
since the libtasn1.la still exists, relinking would have added it
again, so this is not the case.

So that leaves is with that some other .la file already had it.
The package shipping that .la file should depend on the tasn
package, not yours.
