Just to make sure. If I click a .deb file from a web page with my N900, does it uses dpkg? I know that it opens the App Manager.

Code:
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends},

I had those two, but still it would complain about the missing libqtm-systeminfo when I tried to install it by clicking the .deb file.

Also MADDE seems to complain about
Code:
${misc:Depends}
. I can't remember what is said. Something about unknown variable. I tried to remove it, but it didn't seem to make any difference.
