I mean I did not fill all fields in deb's control file. There are some
good fields to fill. It is not the same problem. It is totally .deb
specific.

Problems is with height so 10" with its 600 pixels is worse then
640x480. Though it is not so important now.
And I am not sure how to fix because width is given by constant and it
affects appearance in some non-trivial ways. I think it needs time to
investigation.

Ok. I'll postpone menu shortcuts. So before .rpm there will no
non-trivial things to do.
