Please see this article:- Magento: How to create extension package? (IMAGES)

Check if the data is filled correctly.

While creating your extension package, under Package Info -> Supported releases

  • If you have chosen "1.5.0.0 & later" then your extension package is stored in var/connect directory. This supports Magento connect 2.0.

  • If you have chosen "Pre-1.5.0.0" then your extension package is stored in var/pear directory. This is for Magento connect 1.0.

  • If you have selected both options, then the extension packages is stored in both places (var/connect and var/pear).

When uploading the 1.0 version from var/pear – Magento Connect will make the 2.0 version for you. If you wish to only support 1.5 and higher versions of Magento only then only upload the 2.0 file from the var/connect directory to Magento.

Edit:

I tried to create a package with app/design and skin folder. It worked fine and I could see other folder and files in the package file inside var/pear.

I tested with default theme and default skin. In 'Contents' section, I kept like this:-

Target: Magento Theme Skin
Path: frontend/default/default
Type: Recursive Dir

Target: Magento User Interface
Path: frontend/default/default
Type: Recursive Dir
