The subject line of this patch doesn't seem to match what it's actually
doing.  

If there are .la or .so files in ${libdir}/${PN} that are causing a
problem then it does seem reasonable to add them to FILES_${PN}-dev.
But I don't think that restricting the scope of FILES_${PN} is
desirable, or ought to be necessary.
