Impressive! Have you tried if it works, by manually processing a
Debian package? (Just build e.g. GNU Hello and sign it with your key)

Contact me on IRC, if you have questions ;-) You can also try to
adjust the app-install-data script to return a DEP-11-YAML file, if
you want.
Also, don't forget to submit your application[1] in time ;-)
Cheers,
