.desktop file handling

[Shawn Sörbom]

Hi
I have run into a few projects lately that don't include .desktop files but 
should. my usual approach to handle this is to write a patch with quilt that 
writes a .desktop file to the project's root directory, then add a 
corresponding line to the debian/[package].install file. I know this approach 
works, but is it the "right" way? Does it matter?
Thanks,
