I copied that text into my control file, into the XB-Maemo-Icon-26: field (making sure that I put a space in front of each newline), but it doesn't show up. I think I did everything correctly...(I used openssl instead of uuencode because uuencode wasn't installed in either Ubuntu or Scratchbox).
Install "shareutils" for uuencode

The problem may just be in the way you're adding the base64 into the control file.

I do this:
XB-Maemo-Icon-26:
yyyyyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyyyyy
(Which, although the quote doesn't do well to show it, translates to "XB-Maemo-Icon-26:<space>
<space>base64 contents")
