+Tag: non-empty-dependency_libs-in-la-file
+Severity: error
+Check: build-systems/libtool/la-file
+Explanation: The dependency_libs field in the .la file has not been cleared. It has
+ long been a release goal to get rid of unneeded .la files and clearing the
+ dependency_libs field from the rest of them.
+ .
+ A non-empty dependency_libs field will also stall the Multi-Arch
+ conversion.
+ .
+ The .la file in itself may be useful if the library is loaded dynamically
+ via libltdl.
