The only other package seems to be gss, which we were planning on
uploading a new package soon for given your other bug report.  Should I
apply this patch to Shishi first, upload it and then wait a few days and
then upload the newly patched gss?  Then gss would no longer refer to
libshishi.la, right?  Then we could finally patch Shishi's debian/ to
just drop the .la file completely.  It is late so I may confused
something, so please proof-read. :-)

Thanks,
/Simon
