Problems with the Linux binary (.deb file)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

You should:
1. Distinguish that it's not just "Linux". Imageshack should mention that
the build is "Linux 32-bit (Debian/Ubuntu)" (or just Debian).
2. Create 32-bit and 64-bit builds separately.
3. Fix the .deb files, such as the debian control file, as it has some
problems. For example, the "Architecture" should be fixed to show if it's
32-bit or 64-bit.

You can check out luckybackup source as an example, I think it has an
option to make proper deb files:

I've taken the liberty of providing official Debian .debs in the archive at
http://packages.debian.org/sid/imageshack-uploader, built for all supported 
Debian
architectures. They will also be included in the next release of Ubuntu.
