Like i said i have done this and have failed miserably. Yeh my .pro file is set up correctly as i used the example one you are describing and edited.

But i haven't yet looked at the examples debian files this would probably help alot cheers mate.

Any idea how to use dch it opens nano but i am un-sure how to edit anything as every thing i changed stopped me from being able to create the package so i just left it as it is.
