I would look at some real .desktop files installed by other packages as working examples (such as xpdf.desktop, evince.desktop, and so forth...). However, I can well understand your need to check the specification, in order to be sure you put the right values for the right fields. I hope you manage to do this soon, in order to build a good gv.desktop and include it into the package... Thanks for maintaining gv in Debian! :-) -- New location for my website!
