Not sure if you'd want the _source_ package to have a simple soname-less
name as well; I would but that's up to you -- that'd be nicer and make
having only-one-version transitions easier; on the other hand a
soname-encoded source name is better when there's a need for multiple
coinstallable versions.

Your choice; current state is ok.

Just cosmetic stuff:

* installation instructions don't really belong in the man page -- if you
  can read it, you've already managed to install the package.

* please copy the description for liblopsub1 to liblopsub-dev; it currently
  says just "This package contains the development environment for the
  lopsub library."  It's pointless to require the user to check the other
  package -- other libraries alter merely the last part.  Also, it's -dev
  what users pull by hand.

* is there a reason for shipping the static library?  Static linking is
  frowned upon in a distribution -- whenever the library gets updated,
  every reverse dependency has to be recompiled; this is especially nasty
  for security updates.

* (bonus) The nicely documented process for building the example looks
  like something that could be turned into an autopkgtest.  Unlike
  build-time tests, autopkgtests are run against installed packages,
  the way an user would.  That's of course extra effort, by no means
  required -- but, extra testing is always good.

But in general, the package already seems to be in a releasable state. 
Could you please change "UNRELEASED" to "unstable" so it can be uploaded?


Meow!
