If you plan to get the package to Debian, I think the better place to
start would be this link:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/
Also, for this kind of question you should be using debian-mentors
mailing list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/

If you build your library from the source, there will be no problem with
different distributions.
Also from the versions it seems that you talk about Ubuntu...
