The packages are standard Debian packages - use the regular Debian 
tools, from within Scratchbox, to build packages.  To transfer, well, 
get the .deb from point a (scratchbox) to point b (device) somehow - 
email, usb, bluetooth, eventually a repository.  You might like to 
search for the Debian New Maintainer's Guide.
