I haven't use that tool before unfortunately, so I can't give you any advice except to contact the developer. It looks like it uses Java which is a pretty odd language to use to build debian packages seeing that debian is not necessarily consider the greatest Java platform in the world. 

I have a suspicion that creating a package following the wiki might be easier: http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Packaging,_Deploying_and_Distributing

There are also other tools in Maemo you might want to try; mud and py2deb, and perhaps others I am missing.
