well, they shouldn't be distributed, AFAIK, but it doesn't harm if
they're needed for RPM building.

The .a/.la in -devel are needed because they are the libs needed for
compiling libgnomedb apps. The others you added are not intended for
that, so hence shouldn't be distributed. But, since the source install
installs them, it doesn't harm to have them also in the RPM file.
They'll be ignored.

What about the %{_libdir}/libglade/2.0/*.a/la files? Should they also be
added as above?
