Sorry, but libgit.a is not a publically usable/useful library at this moment, as its internal API is not cast in stone yet.

Installing it in /usr/lib and /usr/include would give the false impression to the users that linking with user's programs is supported and upgrading git won't break them. Please do not create libgit-dev package.
