I think app-install-data should ignore it as "NoDisplay=true" is set.
See: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bzr-gtk/bzr-gtk/trunk/view/head:/bzr-handle-patch.desktop.in

But the text in the Name field is simply Bazaar and the Comment field
is "Apply Bazaar Bundle" That is exact what appears in Software
Center. I can't imagine anywhere else it would be picked up from...

Title:
  Multiple packages are titled "Bazaar" in the Ubuntu Software Center

Status in “app-install-data-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “bzr-gtk” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The Ubuntu Software Center shows multiple similar-looking packages
  when you search for the word "Bazaar".  The first package shown in the
  results list is not Bazaar, it is bzr-gtk, but nothing in the package
  information shown will tell you that.  This is confusing to users and
  may lead them to view the wrong package information pages or install
  the wrong software.  I would expect "Bazaar Version Control System" to
  be the first and obvious choice when searching for the term 'bazaar'
  in the Ubuntu Software Center.

  The Unity window manager's 'Installable Software' search lens in
  Oneiric uses the same search results but displays even less
  information.  Making a distinction between the two packages is even
  more difficult.

  I have attached a screenshot showing the results I am seeing.
