The git branch available from <URL: https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/libonvif/tree/debian > contain my draft packaging, including the latest changes from upstream git as there is quite a few that are needed for sensibly building the package. I am in touch with upstream, and he seem willing to maintain the package in Debian. If so, I would be happy to sponsor his uploads according to my preferences on <URL: http://www.hungry.com/~pere/debian-sponsoring.html >.
I am very unskilled in packaging shared C libraries, and the machinery involved with symbol control, and suspect others would be a better guide than me on these topics. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
