can you tell me that what's the command to call it?
According to the README file I linked you to:
You can put a call to "maemo-optify" into debian/rules, immediately after dh_gencontrol or equivalent, like this:

maemo-optify PACKAGE DIR

where PACKAGE is the name of the binary package that you want to optify, and DIR is the directory with the files of the package. If you omit DIR, it defaults to "debian/PACKAGE". (The name of the package is needed for the heuristics that maemo-optify performs.)

No, maemo-optify is run by the build process, so the .deb file will need to be installed in the scratchbox (if it's not already installed by default).

No, the name of the .deb file is irrelevant.
