AIUI, Diablo and Chinook HAM's both work fine with 48x48 icons (they scale down); whereas none of them will scale up. If you want a single icon size, make it 48px square as this won't look silly in Fremantle and will look acceptable on earlier releases. It might be possible that Gabriel's scripts can be extended so that they will pick the icon file with the right size (or do anti-aliased scaling in case the right icon size is not available as file) depending on which target (fremantle, diablo, chinook, etc..) the package is being built for... This would make it possible to have proper icons for every distro version while still not having to have different debian/control files for each one.

debhelper-maemo-package-icons
Hey, all! Let's hope this package doesn't duplicate some functionality too (like maemo-release did ... *scratch head*). So, here's the scoop.: debhelper-maemo-package-icons adds the command dh_maemo_package_icons, which you can use in the binary-arch section of debian/rules. You should add it right at the top of the section, and add it again with -r at the bottom of the section, like this: ... binary-arch: dependencies dh_maemo_package_icons ... other dh_this and dh_that lines ... dh_maemo_package_icons -r some-other-target: dependencies ... This will add a XB-Maemo-Icon-26: uuencoded icon line to all control file sections where an icon file whose name is the same as that of the package mentioned in the section is found. Later, after the packages are built, running dh_maemo_package_icons -r will remove these lines to restore the control file. This package has actually been present for quite a while now, and I've used it for Pidgin's packages, but I never really announced it as such.

Re: debhelper-maemo-package-icons
This means we should remove our manually added XB-Maemo-Icon-26 line from our control file and let this command do the job for us ? Where does it expect the package_name.png file to be?

No file type/pixel size checks are performed on the debian/package-name.png file. I, for one, will stick to 26x26, because older version of Hildon Application Manager do not work with higher rez icons, and I don't want yet another reason to split my source package along distro lines. As for why we chose an odd size like 26x26 to begin with, instead of 24x24 or 32x32, I will never understand. But that is a story for another time ...
