Do not dash in deb

When building Harmattan apps using Qt Creator, it is important not to have dashes in your project name. If you do, the generated desktop file will refer to foo-bar, while the app binary and icon will be named foobar. It is a simple fix, but can be confusing at first.

Symptoms: app starts when launching from Qt Creator, but icon looks odd and app cannot be launched on the device.
