Unfortunately this is not the case for dh_desktop. Just take a look at
it's code (just a few lines). It adds the update-desktop-database call
in every case a .desktop file is found, independent from it's content -
wasting time and resources by simply rebuilding the database without the
necessity - that's why I'm not happy with calling this script without
reason. This debhelper script needs some improvement (e.g. checking for
MimeType field, before it adds the update-desktop-database call) to
handle the situation better. I know.
Ahh, OK. Would you mind filing a bug report about this against debhelper
once you found out this?
@Adrien: I saw this suggestion several times by Ubuntu developers trying
to bring .desktop files to Debian. That's why I'm now a little bit
annoyed seeing this suggestion again and again. The MOTU-guide at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/DesktopFiles simply is wrong in
this point. To tell the good news: It already suggests to run
desktop-file-validate. The bad news: Seems, this is not done.
I'll try to do my best.
Thanks again
Andreas.
PS: A fixed package will follow today or at least on Monday because there
is a new upstream version that should replace the current package.
