Pretty much it's a matter of looking at an existing package -- that's
how you learn.
Take a peek at bash's debian/rules file to see how it does
libreadline, or look at libgtk1's debian/* files to see how a pure
library package is handled.
The short is:
.so.1 and .so.1.0.0 go into libblah1
.so and .a and .h files go into libblah-dev
(optional) debugging-enabled .a goes into libblah-dbg
Your numbers may vary.
