That information is not related to upstream. This is a pure Debian
internal matter. If you took over the package by adopting it, you /are/
the maintainer. Since there is an Alioth project for you already you may
want to set the pkg-gtkpkd list as maintainer and yourself as uploader
instead.

It wasn't me in particular to suggest you this, however I somewhat
followed your progress: Your problem is, you can't (read: should not)
install libraries into a system wide location (e.g. /usr/lib/) from a
binary package whose name is not lib<whatever>. If you do nonetheless
lintian will croak and the DD which is interested to sponsor you will
ask you to change this.
You have two alternatives:
* Provide libfoo as you did and install to a system wide location, but
if you do the library must be useful for /other/ packages than yours too
and you should include a -dev package providing headers and .so symlinks
which allows other people to link against your package. I don't think
your library falls in this category.
* Install the library to a program local location, e.g /usr/lib/gtkpod
and ship it in the main package. If you prefer this way, you probably
have to tweak Makefile and/or library search paths on link time a bit,
if upstream does not support this by default. Don't consider setting
rpath though.
