Link from there too may be a good idea.

It is linked from the existing manual "Debian Developer's Reference (CVS
version)" which you are one of the authors :-)
If including this document directly into this DDP CVS is desirable, let me
know. I have patch almost ready :)
FYI:
Debian Developer's Reference (CVS)
<URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/>
or more specifically link exist at the end of:
<URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices>
6.2.2 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
breaking.
* Good practices for library packaging have been grouped in the library
* packaging guide.
Cheers.
