I don't think it's implemented yet, but I'm not sure. Anyways, I
believe the right place would to add the DEPLOYMENT handling in:
   android-qt-creator/src/plugins/qt4projectmanager/qt-android/qt4androidtarget.cpp
as it's where it's doing all the other AndroidManifest.xml magic.

Ideally this would actually be moved to qmake or some other
command-line-tool, so that it would work without Qt Creator as well.

I think it'll be pretty straight-forward to implement it.
qmake DEPLOYMENT is documented here:
  http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qmake-variable-reference.html#deployment
AndroidManifest.xml is documented here:
  http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html

The whole thing seems pretty similar (and better!) than the .pkg file
stuff for Symbian.
