For Maemo 2.0 there was no explicit policy, which practically meant they
are to be installed (as debian packages generally do.)  However for the
next major release those files will be removed, at least for most parts,
as they cause nothing but problems.

If you're tracking Sardine you should already have packages without
the .la files.
