This looks really cool; I'm just learning how to do this myself, it would be great if there were a packaging genius out there to help us newbie packagers get stuff ready to feed to the repositories. At the moment, it's a bit like walking blindfolded into a room full of short boxes; I keep whacking my shins on things I can't see.

For instance; it never occurred to me that you can make your application uninstallable for some people if you have the same icon in your package as in another package. Of course, it makes sense in hindsight... The application manager is (correctly) very cowardly when it comes to overwriting files.
