Sorry for the bit of 'pain' getting to the docs and data files. This whole concept of 'packaging' an application for the N8xx is brand new to me. I myself feel totally comfortable with a CLI (command line interface), but for someone that just wants to use a GUI it must be a bit frustrating.
From other examples I have seen, applications typically create a directory in '/usr/lib/xxx', and then put the application and other pieces under that. I did the same thing for '/usr/lib/tricorder'. In that directory is the actual program (tricorder.py), but also a subdirectory named 'data' (where the sound/gfx live), and one named 'doc' (where the various docs live).
Probably the only way to make this somehow easier is to have a 'help' menu option or something, but I don't see that as typical in 'pygame' applications that I have looked at.
Anyways, it doesn't sound as though anyone's Nokia has blown up yet using my app, which is good news to me
EDIT: Quick web page created to make this a bit easier, including README:
