Thanks Vladislav, I checked out that site. Seems like that is pretty much the way I created the packages, so I must have done something right. But still the application doesn't show up at the menu after installation. This is what I have in the [package].links file...

/var/lib/install/usr/share/applications/hildon/[package].desktop /etc/others-menu/extra_applications/001_[package].desktop

I've replaced the package name with [package]. Is this "package.links" file a maemo specific thing? I couldn't find any info about it besides the maemo site. And maemo site also says that I shouldn't use any maintainer scripts like postinst or prerm, that are presented in the tutorial that Vladislav posted.
