This might help explain why libraries and some other packages don't show up in the application manager.

Jebba's package building howto is a good place to get a feel for packaging (there's also the official Debian way).
Once you're confident with that process it's a case of setting up a garage account, requesting upload access and waiting.
Although asking the pidgin-facebookchat maintainer to merge your work with their efforts is probably easier.

Keep at it.
