Making ubuntu packages or debian package use exactly the same code in the IDE. 

The only place where the original project name (with eventually some upper 
case characters) is used are:
* In executable name.
* In the icon file name.
* In the 'Source:' tag in the /debian/control file.

I don't know Debian nor Ubuntu, but I don't see any reason why the same code 
will work on Debian and not on Ubuntu, unless dpkg-buildpackage does not work 
exactly the same way in both distributions...
