What's going on here anyway? Why does a post-install target in
freedesktop/desktop-file-utils call update-desktop-database at all?
This executable needs to be called every time there are new .desktop
files in $prefix/share/applications -- which is the case *after* you
installed one or more new packages.
IMHO it does not make any sense calling this right after installing
desktop-file-utils, as there are no .desktop files yet. This needs to be
run after you finished building GARNOME.
