It's an internal implementation detail. I agree it shouldn't be in
/usr/bin, so we can use this bug to track moving it to /usr/share/.
> - For example, trying to add a new screensaver-type by hand does not
work when you put a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications
/screensavers/. In fact, *deleting* a .desktop file there does not
remove the screensaver from the screensaver settings menu!
This is not supported. Please use /usr/local/applications or
~/.local/applications for custom .desktop files. /usr is for distro
packages, /usr/local and /home for user customizations.
> - a cache file should not reside in /usr/share/applications/
Indeed it might be nicer in /var/cache; it makes the lookups less
efficient, but it should be bearable. This could become a separate
wishlist bug.
> - *if* you cache files, you should make sure the cached file will be
rebuilt.
That's already done via dpkg triggers.
