It will FTBFS if we use a version (< 0.4.49ubuntu5) of cdbs. Please see bug #186130. clean-la-mk.in was introduced in version 0.4.49ubuntu5 as you can see below:

cdbs (0.4.49ubuntu5) hardy; urgency=low

  * Add 1/rules/clean-la.mk.in: Script to remove all dependencies from .la
    files. This allows us a smooth migration towards killing .la files
    entirely.

clean-la.mk.in was written by Martin Pitt to remove .la dependencies from all .la files and it's not yet in Debian.

Debian shouldn't be affected by this because if we forward this patch, they must include clean-la.mk.in to cdbs in order to work. That being said, this is Ubuntu-specific. If we still use a version gt 0.4.49ubuntu5 it won't FTBFS.

Thanks.
