   That won't get rid of the problem, unless we hack the .la file by
hand. However the next SDL release (which is being packaged) includes a
.pc file for use with pkg-config.

   We should get rid of the .la file too, but that will require fixing
reverse dependencies first. Rdeps shipping .la files include:

libparagui1.0-dev:
    /usr/lib/libparagui.la
paintlib-dev:
    /usr/lib/libpaintlib.la
libsmpeg-dev:
    /usr/lib/libsmpeg.la
libsdl-ttf2.0-dev:
    /usr/lib/libSDL_ttf.la
libsdl-stretch-dev:
    /usr/lib/libSDL_stretch.la
libsdl-sound1.2-dev:
    /usr/lib/libSDL_sound.la
libsdl-net1.2-dev:
    /usr/lib/libSDL_net.la
libsdl-mixer1.2-dev:
    /usr/lib/libSDL_mixer.la
libsdl-image1.2-dev:
    /usr/lib/libSDL_image.la
libsdl-gfx1.2-dev:
    /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.la
libguichan0-dev:
    /usr/lib/libguichan.la
    /usr/lib/libguichan_allegro.la
    /usr/lib/libguichan_opengl.la
    /usr/lib/libguichan_sdl.la
libgengameng-dev:
    /usr/lib/libgengameng.la
libarkrpg-dev:
    /usr/lib/libArk.la
    /usr/lib/ark/libArkCollision.la
    /usr/lib/ark/libArkEngine.la
    /usr/lib/ark/libArkHeightField.la
    /usr/lib/ark/libArkLua.la
    /usr/lib/ark/libArkRenderer.la

   The SDL team maintains most of these, but a few other maintainers
need to be pinged.
