Bug Description

Binary package indicator-appmenu currently ships /usr/lib/indicators3/7/libappmenu.la file. Per Debian Policy section 10.2, this should be avoided. See:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/i386/indicator-appmenu/filelist
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-libraries
https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/LAFileRemoval

So when I run "bzr bd", that file gets installed like this:

> /bin/bash ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c libappmenu.la '/home/charles/canonical/src/indicator-appmenu/build-area/indicator-appmenu-13.01.0+14.04.20131125/debian/tmp/usr/lib/indicators3/7/'

And the "find" rule in debian/rules to prune out the static & libtool libraries doesn't match this path:

> override_dh_install:
> find debian/indicator-appmenu -name \*.la -delete
> find debian/indicator-appmenu -name \*.a -delete
> dh_install --fail-missing

Replacing "debian/indicator-appmenu-name" with "debian/tmp" should resolve this.

  [ Charles Kerr ]
  * Check for PROP_LABEL to be non-null before passing it a long to
    gtk_label_set_text_with_mnemonic().
  * When pruning libtool/static libraries in debian/rules'
    override_dh_install, use a matching pattern that actually finds the
    files we want to prune. (LP: #1281659)
  * Minor copyediting of schema key's summary/description. (LP: #970903)
