May I kindly ask you if you're willing to provide a patch against libpkg-guide (the code is in git[1])? Alternatively, may you please give us some hints about where thinks have to be fixed (I supposed you read recently the doc so it's fresh :) ) and references for what Debian recommends for -dev package?
