If Maemo should become more famous then it should be easy for beginners and none of them would understand what a library is and why "nothing" has happened after they have installed it.
I believe by the library being in "libs" rather than "user", it won't show up in HAM. It's still in the repository, but won't show up in the HAM user interface, so that should hopefully answer your concern.

What I'm not quite sure about is what happens if there is a new version of the library. As it won't show up in HAM, presumably it also won't show up when the user is notified about updates, so the user won't be able to update it. Is this correct?
