Bug#620411: please wipe out dependency_libs

Hi -

I've just applied the attached patch to afflib in Ubuntu to empty out
the dependency_libs field in the libtool .la file being shipped in the
-dev package. This is generally a good idea because it avoids causing
consumers of your library to require the .la files listed to be
available when they're not actually needed (i.e., in the common case
of dynamic linking). It will also causing problems in the near future
because multiarch is landing soon, which will cause the .la files
referenced by libafflib to move, which would cause build failures for
anything linking against libafflib.

The changelog entry for this upload in Ubuntu is:

  * Rebuild to pick up multiarch changes.
  * Clean .la files.

Thanks for considering the patch.

- Evan
