My theory is that this is folklore from pre-maemo5 days ;-).

I tried "calling the bullshit" and just doing this in my app (64x64 icon):

    icon.files += data/scalable/qtdone.png
    icon.path = $$DATADIR/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon

and I don't really miss anything in terms of icons.

BTW, would it be possible to have the packaging stuff created by qt
creator done in a .pri file that is merely included by the .pro file?
It would seem much cleaner to me.
