You want:
pkgincludedir = $(includedir)/package

I use:
libpackage_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 0.0.1
and the library's dependencies.
The libtool info page has a discussion on library versioning which is important
to read, if you haven't already. U**x library versioning is light years ahead
of Windoze (hence the massive app breakage on upgrade from Win95 to Win98), and
it's important for library authors to know how to use it.
