update: now there is a .deb package! go to downloads and get the .deb

cd ~/Downloads
wget http://series60-remote.sourceforge.net/counter/getfile.php?id=12
sudo dpkg -i series60-remote*deb

original post:
http://series60-remote.sourceforge.net/
found here

sudo aptitude install python python-obexftp python-matplotlib python-bluez python-qt4 python-qt4-sql sqlite3 libqt4-sql-sqlite
cd ~/Downloads
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/series60-remote/series60-remote/0.3.90/series60-remote-0.3.90.tar.gz?use_mirror=ovh
tar -xf series60-remote-0.3.90.tar.gz
cd series60-remote-0.3.90/

You can test the installation before you install it:

cd pc
./series60_remote.py

If you want to install the application just run

./setup.py install

This will create the folders /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/series60_remote and /usr/share/series60-remote and a wrapper script in /usr/bin/series60-remote on Linux.
