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.

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 ?

Is this about FBReader in other platforms? It is fair to assume that all Maemo users can install applications with the Application Manager, and there they don't need to have the libraries visible.

Libraries cannot go in user/*. By choosing to do this you're impacting the likelihood of Nokia shipping Fremantle with Extras enabled. Do you really want to do this to support an extreme edge-case of users? Either way, this is really a non-negotiable guideline. Libraries don't go in user/*. End of story.
These users are more than adequately supported by apt-get.
