QMake was never designed to do such packaging. Its been written as a pure
build-tool. Apparently Nokia now wants to integrate some packaging so its
easy for their Qt-users to put stuff on the phones. But especially linux
distro packages usually require a bit of manual work that an automated tool
cannot do (for non-trivial apps that is).
