Title:
  Explicitly mark debug-build click packages AS debug builds

Status in “qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  At the moment, when I test and deploy an Ubuntu SDK app to the
  emulator/device, Ubuntu SDK creates a click package for it, named
  dotted.app.name_version_arch.click. This is a debug build; it has the
  debug policy group enabled, and its Exec line is for
  ./qtcdevicedebughelper.py. Both of these will cause it to (correctly)
  fail an app store review, because it's a debug build.

  To make a release build, one must use the Publish tab of Ubuntu SDK to
  "Create and validate Click package" (or the equivalent command line
  tool). This creates a release build click package, but with the _same
  file name_. This makes it difficult to know which to upload to the
  store.

  It would be useful if a clearer distinction were drawn between debug
  builds and release builds, in the UI of Ubuntu SDK and the filenames
  of created click packages. Perhaps a debug build package should be
  named "org.kryogenix.myapp_1.0.0_all (debug build).click" or similar?
  (Note: "..._all_debug.click" is not very clear; it all just looks like
  technical jargon.) Release builds could be
  "org.kryogenix.myapp_1.0.0_all (for release).click", or "...(store
  build)..." or similar. That way, it is a lot more obvious which click
  package file to upload, which it is not possible to know otherwise. It
  will also make clearer to developers that there is a difference
  between debug builds and release builds; at the moment there is no
  indication that these two types of builds even exist, nor that one
  must not be uploaded to the store and the other must be performed.
