Package: lincity
Version: 1.13.1-11
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

The Version field of the lincity.desktop file contains a wrong
value. It should contain the version of the Desktop Entry Specification
used in the .desktop file (see [1]), not the version of the program.
It's common to use the value 1.0 (see [2] for an example of .desktop
files for games) but there is a more recent 1.1 version from 2014, so
either of two, 1.0 or 1.1, is perfectly valid.

May I also suggest two additional changes in the lincity.desktop file?
First, the GenericName key is defined in the specification as 'Generic
name of the application, for example "Web Browser".' I suggest to use
the value "City Simulation Game" instead Lincity there. It may also be
worth to add the TryExec key pointing to the executable (if the
executable is not found, the menu entry is hidden).

I am sending the proposed changes to lincity.desktop in patch format for
your consideration.
