There are rules how an udeb must be structured, what it may contain
and what ist must not contain. You can find them in the documentation
of the debian installer:
http://cvs.debian.org/debian-installer/doc/
Specifically the file modules.txt is of interest.
However, when working on the gtk frontend I came into touch with many
libraries that had to be packaged as udebs, and found that this aspect
was not well covered so far.
I talked to some developers and then write a proposal set of rules of
what is important for library udebs. You can find it here
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2003/debian-boot-200303/msg00036.html
It is far from being complete, and I would be glad if you had
something to add, or propose some changes. Discussion takes place on
debian-boot.
