Not necessarily. Just because something is listed as a dependency_lib,
and it is missing, does not make loading it fail. (Try it, or trust me,
*I* have, for kde bits anyway).
Besides, did you miss my comment in the proposal that kde is fixable to
not require .la files at runtime *at all*? (:

It's better than the status-quo of saying .la files MUST (always) be
omitted.
