jack package for debian testing doesn't include .la files anymore;
luigi@pozzaibe:~$ apt-file list libjack-dev
libjack-dev: /usr/include/jack/intclient.h
libjack-dev: /usr/include/jack/jack.h
libjack-dev: /usr/include/jack/midiport.h
libjack-dev: /usr/include/jack/ringbuffer.h
libjack-dev: /usr/include/jack/statistics.h
libjack-dev: /usr/include/jack/thread.h
libjack-dev: /usr/include/jack/timestamps.h
libjack-dev: /usr/include/jack/transport.h
libjack-dev: /usr/include/jack/types.h
libjack-dev: /usr/lib/libjack.a
libjack-dev: /usr/lib/libjack.so
libjack-dev: /usr/lib/libjackserver.a
libjack-dev: /usr/lib/libjackserver.so
libjack-dev: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/jack.pc

it changed in this version:
 jack-audio-connection-kit (0.116.1-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Don't install *.la files in libjack-dev. (Closes: #510673)
   * Add myself to Uploaders

this is the bug:
