Just renaming emacsVER.desktop to emacs.desktop actually works, but that
causes another issue that the emacs.desktop file will conflict with the
other flavor's one.
So I suggest the solution as follows:
1. Install upstream emacs.desktop file into /usr/share/emacs/23.3/etc/
2. Use the Debian alternatives system for
/usr/share/applications/emacs.desktop by adding the following to
emacsVER.postinst:
--slave /usr/share/applications/emacs.desktop emacs.desktop \
/usr/share/emacs/@FULL_VERSION@/etc/emacs.desktop \
3. Remove @MENU_VERSION@ from StartupWMClass in emacsVER.desktop
Note that emacsVER.desktop is still necessary when the multiple flavors
(emacs23, emacs24, emacs-snapshot, etc.) are installed.
emacsVER.desktop will be used to launch the desired flavor's Emacs.
