What is the problem this is trying to solve? How are the .la files causing problems ? The Pd-extended is crufty enough as it is with lots of kludges like this that I'm mostly responsible for. I've learned thru the error of my ways, and have been working to make it all much cleaner and simpler.
roman asked why zexy installs a large number of never-before-seen files, and i told him that they can safely be deleted.
so the "problem" is that they are pointless files, lying around on the filesystem doing no good, and only lead to confusion.
if you prefer to have the files around, feel free to keep them.

PS: btw, debian strongly recommends to remove .la files from packages, e.g. http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/LAFileRemoval and a number of lintian warnings.
