What to do with the .desktop file seems to be mentioned here:
http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/3-x/creating_a_debian_package.html

But I think the howto here (which links above howto):
http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/3-x/howto_new_application_bora.html

should have an example of how to get .desktop file into package
with Autotools.

PS. I'm not a fan of GNU Autotools, I like & use Makefiles
as pkg-config and GNU Make can do 90% of what you actually get
from Autotools (besides autogenerated 100KB configure script
that is larger than rest of your code and much harder to debug).

Debian packaging has also a lot of things one needs to know
but at least they mostly make sense unlike libtools (part of
Autotools)...
