Well, upstream needs fixing as well, probably. I haven't looked at
what upstream has done with the library.

Are you asking for an example Debian package of a library, or are you
asking whether libxdo.so should be in its own package?
libxdo does need to be a publically available library in order for
keynav to use it, which means that it does need a soname.
It's also important that Debian uses the same soname as other
distributions. The advice is to discuss it with upstream:
