[szechyjs]

This fixes/updates the debian packaging configs to create development and library packages.

This looks great! Thanks for the changes. @Gadgetoid will this cause any issues with the various language ports?

I think if this go this path, DEBIAN (upper-case) should be renamed to debian (lower-case) and the SConscript should be updated to call dpkg-buildpackage (requires debhelper package to be installed) instead of dpkg-deb. Cmiiw.

and the SConscript should be updated to call dpkg-buildpackage (requires debhelper package to be installed) instead of dpkg-deb. Cmiiw.

I'm not too familiar with SCons, and would appreciate some help/guidance on what to update, it looks like the script currently does some copying of the debian files around before running dpkg-deb, is the copying necessary?

Me too.

I guess copying is not necessary. I think the whole manual versioning, naming are not necessary after your first commit.

Also add usr/lib/*/*.so, to make the non-versioned .so symlink installed too. This is required because a lot of apps depend to the non-versioned .so file.

I don't know if you're still working on this or not, but I left a comment. Overall I agree with these changes, but I cannot merge because I'm not the maintainer here.
