currently only 4 packages (except libm17n itself) depends on libm17n-0:

1. mgp: use m17n-config --cflags and m17n-config --libs
2. mlterm-im-m17nlib: use m17n-config --cflags and m17n-config --libs
3. scim-m17n: use pkg-config
4. uim-m17n: use pkg-config

and only the "m17n-config --libtool" will use the "*.la" file, so
maybe it will be safe to build these packages after libm17n-dev remove
the .la files (need test).

there are 1 package depends on libm17n-dev
1. uim-dev: this one ship 3 .la files but no one contains m17n issues

so it is also OK for this.

hope these information can help you.
