This issues has been annoying me for a while now, so tonight I decided to get to
the bottom of it.  Doesn't seem to be a Debian bug.  I reviewed the paths in all
of the .la files and they were all correct (assuming you didn't mean .ls files -
I couldn't find any of those on my system).  But I did find old bits of E that
lying around that were breaking this.

In particular, conf_theme and conf_wallpaper2 were failing due to the presence
of an old version of exchange.  That old version of exchange had .la files
pointed at bogus things.  Rebuilding exchange or uninstalling it will fix the
issue.

I suspect the right thing to do is "sudo rm /usr/local/lib/libe*.la" before my
next svn update.
