Certainly for directories which contain .so plugins, e.g. in the xfprint
package. I have strong doubts that static archives are needed in there.

Whether the libtool archives are needed in such directories depends on how
the .so files are loaded at run-time. Is it dlopen()? Then .la files are
not needed. Is it an old version of the ltdl library? Then it must be
checked whether it complains if no .la files are found.
