In the directory above the one where you ran "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" a file named something like "your-program-1.0-1_armel.deb" will be created. That is the file to transfer.

And also after I use the USB cable to connect the N800 to my PC, I don't know how to copy the package into the mounted device. What does the mounted device mean? And how can I copy the debian package to N8000?

When you plug the N800 into your computer it should appear to the computer as a card reader. Just copy the file to it. Note: you will need to put an SD card in your N800 to use this method.

Does it just copy the package to a standard directory? And after I copied successfully, where can I find the package in N800?

Once you copy the file over, open the "File Manager" program on your N800. Look under "Internal Memory Card" and "External Memory Card" for the file you copied over. Click on it twice to install the debian package.
