i'm getting really confused with all the packaging guides, etc etc, and my main key areas of confusion are:
The file structure needed, and how this changes depending on what you put in certain files.
Also, what all the lines in certain files do, and how they affect things. Have seen many many examples, but none that shed light on the whole process yet.

(Yes i'm aware there are many many ways of packaging, developing etc)

I'm developing in the Nokia QT SDK, the app works fine on the device in testing.

So i then put all these files in their right places,
use mad dpkg-buildpackage
then
mad dpkg-buildpackage -sa -S

I then get my dsc, changes and tar file, upload and it builds fine

Any help would be greatly appreciated
found a solution:

edit rules,
change APPNAME to maecount
rename MaeCount.pro to maecount.pro
in pro file change target.path to /usr/bin
in desktop file change exec to lowercase maecount

Works for me.
