Please read http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/symbolfiles.html
I am reading. Thank you.

It is a system used to automatically update the .install files. The
installgen files in kde-sc packaging however have not been updated for
a long time and we do not actively use them anymore. You can ignore
them.
OK.

This is not something that you decide, this is something that the kde
buildsystem decides. /usr/lib/ contains public libraries, while
/usr/lib/kde4 contains mostly plugins and other stuff that are private
for kde and can be used only through the public kde libraries. You do
not need to concern yourself with this.
And how I know in which package I put new file?

Why would you want to do that? I guess the answer is no, we need
debugging packages.
They take much time to build in the end, I am impatience.
