[Qt-creator] Packaging && Deployment for Maemo

It's great to see the work done on improving the Maemo autopackager in
the Qt Creator nightlies, especially as pertains to packaging
libraries.  I have a question, though.  Currently, the Run feature
still expects to be able to execute some specific program (which
obviously won't exist in a library package), and thus fails to deploy
library packages at all.  How is this planned to be handled in the
future?  Simply fixing this issue would work, but ideally it would be
nice if "deployment" wasn't tied as tightly to "running/debugging" a
single app, since deployment/installation could then be handled more
generically.

Also, on an aside, is there any interest in extending the autopackager
plugin to produce packages for desktop platforms?  I would assume that
for Debian-based systems, much of the current code might be
applicable, at least.
