libmap.a gets statically compiled into all binaries. You should link
the binaries against the shared library and create a separate package.
The rest looks quite clean and well done.
Upstream has never meant for libmap.a to be a shared libary from what I
gather. The build process does not support it in the slightest. (unless
this changed in 4.2.x) I don't have enough experience with C to be or
it's many different possible build processes to be able to turn that
into a shared library, so for now it would have to continue to be
static.
