I don't think I should be blamed for this actually :-)

The generic staging-install fixup of .la files is only part of
the autotools-package infrastructure, because it's related to libtool,
which is normally used in combination with the rest of the autotools.

However, qt5* packages are all generic-packages, so the "generic"
staging-install fixup of .la files doesn't apply for these packages.

That being said, we could certainly make the .la fixup logic a common
macro, which could be used by both the autotools-package
infrastructure, and some other packages as well.

Best regards,

Thomas
