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/

both libs exist in Debian, so you just need to declare them as the
dependencies.

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...
