Lash is used by audio applications to save connection state.  Many music
applications have support for lash and only need the headers to be
available at build time.

“gst-plugins-bad” has “fluidsynth” among its inputs (why?) and
fluidsynth has support for lash.  We could try to replace “lash” in
these cases with a “lash-headers” package and see if the presence of the
headers is sufficient.
