Also where do i put the icon image files? I assume it's not available yet in the debian?
Through USB you can only access /home/user/MyDocs, so you would then have to move the file from XTerminal into this folder. (I myself use ssh for all transfers which doesn't have any limitations.)

Icon images can either be placed in the standard Maemo location, for example /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/ or likewise in the analogous directory in /home/user/.local. Since those directories won't exist, create them at the first such installation by
Code:
mkdir -p /home/user/.local/share/applications/hildon
mkdir -p /home/user/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/
Your .desktop file goes into the first folder, and some appropriate icon file (.png) in the second. If you don't find any png file in the Debian package, you can of course reuse or edit existing ones.

You will have to reboot in order to see your new app icon appear in the application manager.
