I'm afraid I don't know much about packaging libraries. As you probably figure I'm pretty new to developing for Maemo (and Debian in general). How would I go ahead to port the packages and push them to the repositories?

If you have a look in the sources for zbar-0.10, there is a folder named "qt". I'm not sure what compile options one needs to compile it with the Qt bindings, but they are included in the Debian repos as the package libzbarqt-dev.
For general question how to "port" libraries, don't you to the library home page to get the source. Go to debian repositories to download source deb package. Check if there is other depecies for the package, evaluate if they are really necessary (often they are not), study debian/rules file and then just compile it. "Port" done.

Find "Maemo Policy" document to read about version numbers and changing maintainer address.
