Back in the days when Canola source code was not available I used to
generate the binary packages using -b option of dpkg-buildpackage(1).
It will then generate only binary files (.deb) and the proper .changes
file.

To upload to extras non-free, you must use dput and edit /etc/dput.cf
accordingly, as described in
http://wiki.maemo.org/Uploading_to_Extras#.22non-free.22_packages.

Don't know the current status of the non-free queue for Fremantle. It
used to work back in the days of Gregale/Bora/Chinook/Diablo.
