Great! I hope that you could move libzlibrary out of "user/libs" category, for example to "libs". This way it won't be visible in application manager.

Until then libzlibrary will stick to user/something... Sorry.

Personally I wouldn't support those users, but it's clearly your choice.
I really don't know what libzlibrary is about or if there is any other application using it. If it's strictly only for fbreader you could make only one package?

if they download libzlibrary directly they don't care about the category (user/* or something else); they just download the deb and install it (I don't think the Application Manager checks the category from local file ?)
So what does prevnet you from changing the category for this lib ?

These users are more than adequately supported by apt-get.

So that's the application manager that prevents the change.

Just to make this offline scenario working.For desktop (Debian), the sections are 'text' & 'libs' (as proposed by one of the debian developers).

Any suggestions how to make this happen otherwise, are more than welcome.
