This is already ACCEPTED :)

Now fso-usaged package builds.

However, lintian says this:

...> lintian fso-usaged_0.9.0+git20090818-1_i386.changes
W: fso-usaged: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/fsousaged
W: fso-usaged: non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink usr/lib/libfsousage.so.0.0.0 
usr/lib/libfsousage.so
W: fso-usaged: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libfsousage0

I'm uncomformatable with uploading package with the later two.
AFAIU, there is a .so library (usr/lib/libfsousage.so.0.0.0) that is 
intended only by fsousaged binary.
From one side, shared library and binary that uses it should not be placed 
into the same package - that's policy, sec 8.2
From other side, having a separate binary packages for several-kilobyte 
library, libdev and binary look like unneeded overkill.

Could you please think out how to handle this? Perhaps ask debian-devel@ 
(pkg-fso-maint CCed), or look for similar cases? 
I'm a bit busy and can't do that myself now.
