Hi!
We are using Calamares in Tanglu, and it will soon also be used in
PureOS, so packaging it for Debian was on my TODO list already -
thanks for working on it!
For the libraries, it's likely worth filing a bug against Calamares to
move them to private lib dirs if they are really private. I think,
though, those libs are intended to be used by other software to build
installers on top of the Calamares framework, in which case they need
separate lib/dev packages.
In any case, I am interested in helping with the package and
sponsoring it, but I'll need a bit of time to look into it (too much
work at the moment).
I hope I can take a look at the package tomorrow :-)
Cheers,
Matthias
