@stuardo:
The reason for Guake being missing is that the `guake.desktop` file in 
`/usr/share/applications` is a symbolic link *and* the application doesn't ship 
a metainfo file.
This is forbidden: https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines
The .desktop file being a symlink results in Guake basically not being seen by 
the metadata generator at all. To fix this, either the .desktop file needs to 
be an actual file, and not a symlink, or a metainfo file[1] has to be shipped 
with this package. Ideally both.

The reason this package is missing is simply a result of nobody caring
enough to submit a patch or do a bit of work to make this app show up
for a few years now (it never was in the catalog, as far as I can tell).
Maybe a good case for a patch submission? ;-)
