The package in my PPA is a Python application; I for the most part
followed the following guide:
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Python>

Binary packages are built from source packages, and even pure Python
applications require a source package. If you've created some packages,
you may have little more to do than upload them to your PPA.

Thanks for the advice. If I could though, I'd appreciate one
clarification:

This launchpad page https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading
describes using dput to upload, and states that it uploads 3 files:
*.dsc, *.changes, and *.diff.gz... that confused me, as that makes it
sound like I can't upload the *.deb file I've already constructed with
debhelper/dpkg... is this correct, or do I actually upload the .deb
package, and dput just *additionally* uploads those other files as well?
