That's not accurate at all.  The installer team are consulted on the
question of which packages should be made available as udebs, but for shared
libraries the maintenance of the udeb definitely lies with the library
maintainer, not the installer team.  So it makes perfect sense to me that we
would want the requirements for udebs documented centrally where all
maintainers can refer to them.
