Nope, that didn't do it. I uploaded that package to the extras-devel autobuilder, and yeah, there was nothing in it to build.

So, I tried this: I made a full copy of the project source directory into <projectname>-0.1.0, then copied the debian directory from the build directory into that, and ran dpkg-buildpackage on that directory. And that seems to have worked! It created a humongous tarball with tons of unnecessary stuff in it, but I went ahead and uploaded it, and for goodness sakes it seems to have built correctly!

Amazingly enough, I now have an app on its way to extras-devel...
