app-install-data-ubuntu is generated by downloading debs from the archive and yanking .desktop file out of them & the icon. In practice this means that application should ship the .desktop file and the icon in the main arch:any package where the main executable is. It should not, ship extra/pointless .desktop files, or mark them to be ignored by USC archive-scanner. The conf file in the scanner is a point of last resort to fix up things last minute. Ideally updated / corrected desktop files should be in the packages themself.
