Hi Fran,
Good to hear you are starting packaging.

As you have noted, we do our best to keep the wiki up to date with all 
that is required for OSGeo-Live. In your case, for writing scripts, you 
should be looking at:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project
You may also want to look at similar example scripts for other applications.

If you have questions, feel free to ask them on our email list [1], or 
on IRC at irc://freenode.net#osgeolive
