I've so far been unaware of the reason why libtool does not set
link_all_deplibs to `no' on linux, as you put in the Debian package.
Can anybody point me to a reason/docs/thread explaining this?

That's a good feature. Dunno whether I want that (or it can even be) in
a .la file or not. But letting libtool output both information might
prove valuable. Absorbing pkgconfig in libtool in a way that each
pkgconfig user must use libtool will pave way for quote some resistance,
I'd expect.
