Package: desktop-file-utils
Version: 0.15-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
It'd be good if desktop-entry-mode.el from the sources was included in
the package. Chucking it in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp and a bit of an
autoload file would be enough to start (and doesn't create a dependency
on emacs or anything.)
I get some joy from the rules.diff and debian/emacsen-startup file
below.
