There is the wrong path in the exec. It should just be /opt/... not /usr/opt...

Code:
/bin/sh: countdowntimer: not found

If you want to start your app from the command line use the full path or add a symlink to /usr/bin/. The symlink you can create the following command:

Code:

ln -s /opt/maemo/countdowntimer /usr/bin/

to add this functionality to your package you have to add that to the postinst file in the debian folder.
