so here is a letter from the ugly hacks dept. :)

since i suspect it will still take a bit til PPAs have click support,
cant we just build depend on click, have a 
override_dh_auto_build block in debian/rules that calls "click build"
additionally and then ship the .click somewhere in
"/usr/share/<packagename>" from where you could test install it after
dpkg -x'ing the package in /tmp or so ...

this indeed bloats the binary package a bit and should not be enabled by
release time anymore but would give you the right deps and an easy way
to pull the click from a silo to test it...

ciao
