libdebian-installer is a debian package, which you build by using
dpkg-buildpackage and then install using dpkg.

obviously not, since you should ordinarily not build
libdebian-installer yourself, you should just install it into your
host system.  libdebian-installer is a normal debian package, which is
built like all normal debian packages.

Please, please read all the stuff doc/*, the various README files
lying around and the Developer's Reference.
