Package: wine Version: 1.8.5-1 The next version of Debian will ship gnome-software by default in the GNOME version. Currently, wine does not show in the Software app if it is not already installed.
When I look at the 1.8.5-1 package, I don't see a .desktop (except for one you have stored in the examples directory). As for gnome-software, I don't know whether a .desktop is necessary. The preferred metadata is appstream metadata and I think the .desktop is just used as a minimal substitute if there is not appstream metadata present. (I tried looking earlier and it was very difficult for me to try to find an app that did not have a .desktop that showed in gnome-software.) For more info about creating the appstream metadata, see https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/ https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
