Sorry, I don't understand: what do you don't really approve exactly?
Regarding the name I would rather prefer a libxxx package since it's
indeed a library, but this is really a minor point.

Yes, but in order to do so we need the exact list of what is needed by
those packages and what is not. Actually I have no idea of what is
needed by cameleon, could someone with knowledege of cameleon please try

Yes, as already stated I can look at it, but I prefer to clarify the

I prefer not to do so before sarge release, we can work on the package
and help you also via NMU / SVN commits.

I agree, that was only in case of no news from you about this issue.
