I looked around for this a bit: As Saul pointed out, in bitbake.conf we have
FILES_${PN} = ... ${libdir}/${BPN}/* ...

This
* drags in all below this directory ( e.g *.la / *.a )
* Forces me to rewrite FILES_${PN} in evince ( e.g just adding
${libdir}/${BPN}/*/backends/*.a to FILES_${PN}-staticdev fixes nothing
). This is something I would like to avoid.

Suggestions?

I guess others but evince are also affected.

Actually the ordering of PACKAGES matters here and since bitbake.conf 
lists the ${PN}-dev and ${PN}-staticdev package before ${PN}, you can 
append the ${libdir}/${BPN}/3/backends/*.a to FILES_${PN}-staticdev and 
it will pull those first before doing the FILES_${PN}. does that make 
sense?  You don't have to re-write FILES_${PN}.

Sorry - but In oe-core's bitbake.conf I see

PACKAGES = "${PN}-dbg ${PN} ${PN}-doc ${PN}-dev ${PN}-staticdev ${PN}-locale"

this might explain why I can append whatever I want to -dev /
-staticdev - or do I miss something?

Have modified bitbake.conf here to

PACKAGES = "${PN}-dbg ${PN}-dev ${PN}-staticdev ${PN} ${PN}-doc ${PN}-locale"

now I get the expected behavior.

Will start a build from scratch for the night to see if there is some fallout..

We would need to be extremely careful before changing the default value of 
PACKAGES. I would strongly suggest you enable buildhistory when you do this so 
you can spot any changes easily, particularly in package content.

I am afraid you are so right: First build fallout is db. It shows that
the current implementation

SOLIBS = ".so.*"
SOLIBSDEV = ".so"

fails at least here. The main shared lib is found in -dev!

Uhhh cold in here...

How about splitting bitbake.conf changes:
1. Now: move ${PN}-staticdev before ${PN}. This should not have the
dramatic impact and makes it easier to fix new QA warnings.
2. (Much) later ${PN}-dev before ${PN}. This has huge impact and needs
massive testing

 From my understanding there are reasons (that I can't remember right 
now) why ${PN} is where it is. As you note it might not be helpful in 
this case anyways because of the ${BPN}/3.
