Non-stable API and a new maintainer are stuff that do not go along very well 
:-/

While it's normally correct to ship the lib as a separate package, in this 
case and as long as there is only one app using it, let me suggest you to ship 
it with the app as a bundled lib, without the headers.

Once you get more used to packaging and the API becomes stable you could 
consider packaging them separately.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
