I think, it will use that verbatim only if it detected the presence of 
libiconv.la earlier -- just as the literal "/usr/local" must be a 
configure-time setting.

The libiconv-1.9.2_1 installed on this computer, for example, did not come 
with a libiconv.la. Yet everything seems to have built fine after it...

Unless there is a convincing example of things breaking without an .la file, 
these should be deleted. We went through more trouble over pkg-comment files.
