Yes by dancer@debian.org I think. According to:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices
6.2.1 Libraries
Libraries are always difficult to package for various reasons. The policy
imposes many constraints to ease their maintenance and to make sure
upgrades are as simple as possible when a new upstream version comes out.
A breakage in a library can result in dozens of dependent packages to
break...
Good practices for library packaging have been grouped in the library
packaging guide. http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/
