0install packaging guide is http://0install.net/injector-packagers.html
but maybe it's overkill to use 0install(e.g. only for 40 machines).

Anyway GComris Electric is not separate project and it's being built
automatically from entirely gcompris tarball thus it's really hard
to keep upstream and modified code in the same 0install feed, you'll
need to use different to
http://services.sugarlabs.org/gcompris/electric.xml url for your
modified code(so it will just another 0install feed).
