This isn't a thorough review, I just quickly skimmed your packaging to
address some of your changelog entries:

The shared lib package needs to declare Pre-Depends:
${misc:Pre-Depends} (that effectively adds a pre-dependency on
multiarch-support). Also, libchipmunk-dev cannot be made MA: same
as-is because it ships an arch-dependent file in a non-multiarch path
(/usr/bin/chipmunk_demos) and thus isn't co-installable. You can
either drop the MA: same declaration, or ship that arch-dependent file
in a separate package (e.g. libchipmunk-bin or -tools).

libchipmunk-dev needs to breaks+replaces chipmunk-dev (Policy 7.6.1
[1]; if you want to know why this is needed, try installing both
packages). Also, you should keep chipmunk-dev around as a transitional
package until at least one stable release has passed, to provide an
upgrade path for chipmunk-dev -> libchipmunk-dev.
