Hi Dave,
Cool documentation ! It helped me in revising all my basics. I am sure, it will
serve a great purpose for a maemo newbie developer.
Few suggestions :-
1. Adding a GTK based example with dependencies specified in configure.ac
(PKG_CHECK_MODULES for gtk flags), debian/control (Depends,Build-depends) would
be useful
I will find a place to add this, as the information is currently
scattered in several places, such as:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Application_Development/Writing_a_new_maemo_application
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/GNU_Build_System#Integration_with_Pkg-Config
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Porting_Software/Porting_MaemoPad
It might make sense to split this off into a seperate autotools article,
as there is not a direct relation to packaging, and the article is
already very long.
2. What changes are required for deb packaging a QT program.
An article on Qt packaging is linked from the Packaging article. The
direct link is:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging_a_Qt_application
and could probably do with some improvement. Contributions or
suggestions very welcome!
P.S : I have suggested this as you also mentioned about desktop files.
Well, this is mentioned as something Maemo-specific, as the desktop
file installation location is different from the usual
/usr/share/applications.

I documented the packaging of a C app (using autotools for building) a
while back in the wiki:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging#A_concrete_example_-_rot13
This starts with a tiny C program & the minimum autotools stuff to build
it (I don't include these - would that be useful?) and guides you
through making a .deb.
So I included an A to Z for this project, with the 3 files you need to
create a .tar.gz using standard autotools. Let me know if it's useful.
