I like the idea, it should be able to get to work quite simply, but it would introduce a new dependency, and render lintian not directly installable on woody (but you'd need to backport desktop-file-validate). For lintian.d.o a bit more work, but I don't think it's really prohibitive, plus sarge is going to be release soon :).
