Package: lintian Running Lintian 2.5.15 in sid, I got this warning:
I: gnuhealth-client: desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry usr/share/applications/gnuhealth-client.desktop I follow the links from the info on the Lintian report page [0], and find the following example from the Gnome website [1]: _Keywords=chat;messaging;im;irc;voip; According to that page, "Maintainers/developers must set a preceding underscore in "_Keywords" to inform intltool that this field should be extracted, and its translations merged back into the .desktop.in file." When running Lintian again, instead of the warning disappearing, a new one appears ;) W: gnuhealth-client: desktop-entry-contains-unknown-key usr/share/applications/gnuhealth-client.desktop:11 _Keywords I: gnuhealth-client: desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry usr/share/applications/gnuhealth-client.desktop When removing the underscore, all warnings disappear. I assume Lintian does not recognize the leading underscore in desktop file entries (or maybe just for the newer Keywords)?
