Install on Device does not install a click package, but a Debian package that fails

[Jono Bacon]

Clicking Build -> Ubuntu Touch -> Install Application On Device should generate a click package and install it on the device but it doesn't. It instead tries to build a Debian package that fails to build and doesn't install.

Tested on a Nexus 4.

 I will mark this as the duplicate of #1213902 as the missing feature of installing Click package on the device is well known. I am working on it and it is coming.

The support of .deb packaging is nothing new or bad. The .deb packaging was serving developers when Click packaging was not available.

I tried to reproduce the issue:

1. bzr branch lp:animal-far // yes this my and my kids favourte app

2. open the animal-farm.qmlproject in the Ubuntu SDK

3. Build -> Ubuntu Touch -> Create Application Package

Result:

The following files were created outside of the source-tree:
animal-farm_0.3.tar.gz
animal-farm_0.3.dsc
animal-farm_0.3_source.changes
animal-farm_0.3_source.build
animal-farm_0.3_all.deb
animal-farm_0.3_i386.changes

Your logs indicate that the animal-farm.desktop was missing.
