WARNING: I'm not at all sure that the following info is even remotely correct. These steps might be strange, unnecessary and/or downright idiotic. But hey, at lest in my case, they worked.
1. Follow this post up to step 6 for preparing the initial package. You may want to edit the debian/control file at this point.
2. Replace the debian/rule file with the included one included in this post. Edit it and put your package name after the APPNAME :=. NOTE: If you try to copy and paste the entire rule file in Qt Creator, like I tried, you will get and error about 8 spaces instead of a tab.
3. Edit the debian/compat file. The number in it should be no higher than 5. I had 7 in it and because of it, the autobuilder failed. By changing it to 5, it worked fine.
4. In MADDE do the following command:
6. Wait and hope for the best.
7. If the result in 6 is satisfactory and you want to upload an update of your package, remember to edit debian/changelog first, or else it will be rejected.
8. If the autobuilder failed, well... then I'm very sorry, but it's not my fault!
There. I think this is pretty much it. It's not that difficult when you know what needs to be done. The knowing is the tricky part here. So I hope this info could be of some help to others.
