So when I run "bzr bd", that file gets installed like this:

>  /bin/bash ../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c
libappmenu.la '/home/charles/canonical/src/indicator-appmenu/build-area
/indicator-
appmenu-13.01.0+14.04.20131125/debian/tmp/usr/lib/indicators3/7/'

And the "find" rule in debian/rules to prune out the static & libtool
libraries doesn't match this path:

> override_dh_install:
>        find debian/indicator-appmenu -name \*.la -delete
>        find debian/indicator-appmenu -name \*.a -delete
>        dh_install --fail-missing

Replacing "debian/indicator-appmenu-name" with "debian/tmp" should
resolve this.
