Some random items that can to my mind while preparing a kubuntu pkg:
o before release think twice about the API, so can be
extended without breaking the API. As several apps
will use it, every API break needs quite some work
to adapt the apps.
o looks like exiv2 changes it's API frequently. Will
force libkexiv2 API changes too?
o Should it be possible to have several versions
installed at the same time? This requires SOMAJOR
version number
be included in file path of
runtime (requited by distros)
UI msg catalog
devel:
include path for headers
o libkexiv2.h contain no version info. Neither a
version string, nor ints for major, minor, bugfix
revision.

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
