Looking at the source code, it appears to assume .desktop files,
so it doesn't work for arbitrary applications.

Additionally, the source code days 'Linux' .desktop applications
even though .desktop is not Linux-specific: unless something weird
is going on, they can be and are used on GNU/Hurd and Debian
GNU/kFreeBSD.

The latter is not a problem with the package definition though, just
something I noticed.

Greetings,
Maxime.
