[ubuntu-uk] Issues packaging software

[Gareth France]

I have written some software I would like to publish in Ubuntu. 
Following the official guides I can create their demo program which 
simply prints 'hello world' on the screen. Unsurprisingly I'm looking to 
do much more than that! However the guides miss out a lot of important 
information and just cause more confusion than they solve.

I have done this once before but it was so long winded and required so 
much back tracking and re-submitting over and over that by the time it 
got approved I had forgotten how I'd got there, so gave up.

Is there anyone who could help me get a very simple command line only 
utility submitted to the software centre?

Thanks in advance.
