I will post something how to do that and will publish it latest 
tomorrow, then you will have an example with some explanations. Here 
some advises:

1) Put all your application files, apart from your *.desktop file into a 
folder like /opt/<application-name>. This you can do by setting the path 
variable of the INSTALL target used in the *.pro file.

2) Point in the desktop file to your executable, like:
X-Path=/opt/<application-name>/<application-executable>

3) Because of the bug mentioned earlier, add a file called postinst in 
your debian-folder, which looks like:

#!/bin/sh
chmod +x /opt/<application-name>/<application-executable>


As I said, I will post a more detailed example soon. This was just in 
brief how it should work.
