Could you help me under stand why it didn't work when the appname value was the same as the .pro file before.

So what i'm guessing is the name of the .pro has to match the name some where else in the project could you clarify which part?

As this could be integral to future projects.
The name of your package comes from the Package line in debian/control, from the second section. The first instance in the section at the top refers to the source package name, a grouping of the application packages if you will.

The packaging tools, by default, place and expect their files to be found in debian/$PACKAGENAME. (When creating multiple packages from one source package, then it's a bit different but I digress)
