For libarchive we kept the .la files because static linking would fail without them. We don't do static linking with libarchive anymore, so if we ever decide to --disable-static, we should also remove the .la files in it.
There is still pacman-static in AUR, we might want to keep support for it : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacman-static/pacman-static/PKGBUILD But after a long time of inactivity, I finally just got pkgconfig added to libarchive : http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/source/detail?r=1614# Though I did not try it to edit pacman-static package to use pkgconfig instead of libtool.
