LÖVE

Didn't know for sure if it worked, but apparently it does. (I was one of the people suggesting using cat) Though if I were to do it myself I might statically link with some of the dependencies first.

Remember that the trick only works on OS X. If you send it to a Windows user, they'll end up with a folder.

I use the trick during testing so I can double-click it to open it but still edit the files inside.

On Win and Linux you can still use the folder with LÖVE. Well, ok, you can't double-click, but I usually open a terminal window for testing anyway.

I'd say for finalizing, do the zipping. But I'll use packages for the development phase.

So if i understood you right it is possible to pack the love executable and the .love file in an executable file via cat.
Is it possible to also include the compiled libs into this file and if yes, what lib files am i searching for under ubuntu?

you can use cat but you cant add the libraries that way either recompile or add them sEPERATELy (caps fail) and use LD_LIBRARY_PATH

remember to append the .love to the executable

Isn't it better and easier to create a .deb package for Ubuntu?

what would be easy is if there was a doc explaining how to make a *.deb file for love

Which isn't that hard. Golden tip: try opening a .deb as an archive.
