I assume you are using Creator 2.0 from the SDK? Maemo support was 
somewhat lacking in that version; only simple application projects work 
well with it. The current 2.0 branch (which will become release 2.1) 
allows you to disable packaging. The current master branch (which will 
become 2.2) vastly improves the packaging and deployment functionality 
(and also aims to properly support library and subdirs projects). If you 
are not tied to the current release for some reason, I'd suggest you 
compile your own Creator from the current master branch.
