Dear Christopher, thanks to dpkg triggers, everything needed is run when dpkg detects that it adds a file in /usr/share/applications. $ grep applications /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File /usr/share/applications gnome-menus /usr/share/applications desktop-file-utils You only need to install the files like any other files. Developers using debhelper would for instance use dh_install(1) for this. Note that since /usr/share/applications and /usr/share/pixmaps are standard directories, it would be best that "make install" simply install them at the same time as the other files.
