I'm afraid that's not the way it works. I don't intend to do the packaging
work for you, just review it. You should yourself learn how to do the
packaging. Read how dh_install works (read its manpage for example),
really, it's easy.

I have read all messages on the thread, yet I don't see what you

You don't get it: we DO NOT accept that your software silently
changes something in the sources.list, unless your software
purpose is to do the administration of that file, for example
(see what does "software center"). Don't do that. Whatever the
way you put it, I don't see any reason why someone would want
to have your PPA added to the sources.list like this. All of your
needed dependency should be in Debian, and I don't see why
we would need your PPA if it's there.
