The source package may contain a .desktop file, but this file is not
present in the binary package, at least for Ubuntu 12.04. The build
rules seem to ignore the file, and it is not installed.

The '.menu' file, used in the Debian Menu spec, is ignored in Ubuntu,
which uses the Freedesktop Desktop Entry and Menu Spec (
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ ). File
should be installed to /usr/share/applications.

Also, the .desktop file in the source package has some issues:
- 'DocPath' is not a recognized key, it's valid for KDE only (see 
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html )
- 'Application' is not a valid category (see 
http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/1.0/apa.html )
- 'Encoding' is a deprecated key (see 
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/apc.html )
