The answer to the .la question is that apr-1-config script has an option
--link-libtool, which returns the .la file. If the .la file is not shipped,
software that uses this option will fail to build. Ditto for apr-util.
Upstream project defines "source compatibility" here:
http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html#source
If .la file is removed, we'll be breaking that versioning rule set by upstream,
because some application will fail to build against such apr/apr-util package.
