Also, the files you've picked out and manually installed are actually
source files for the doxygen output. If you run make doxygen, then look
at libgeda/docs/html/main.html, you'll see.

I'd suggest that you stop installing those files for future releases,
instead look at triggering a full build of developer docs. That would
need to be installed with the -dev or -devel version of the libgeda
package, not with the run-time library.

Likewise for your .la files.. it may just be a matter of splitting up
what needs to be part of the -dev or -devel package.
