Following the Kiwinote tip, I realize that Kleopatra also have a
duplicate.
I compared korganizer:kde4__korganizer.desktop and korganizer
:kde4__korganizer-import.desktop files and saw that the files are almost
the same, the only relevant difference is in the "Exec" line
The Exec line for korganizer:kde4__korganizer.desktop is "Exec=korganizer %U"
But the Exec line for korganizer:kde4__korganizer-import.desktop is "Exec=korganizer --import %U"
The file korganizer:kde4__korganizer-import.desktop is marked with
"NoDisplay=true", so, it's not intented to appear to end-user.
The same thing happens with kleopatra:kde4__kleopatra.desktop and
kleopatra:kde4__kleopatra_import.desktop.
I tried mark the import files with "Hidden=true", but did'nt work (they
still appeared on software center.)
The .desktop file specifications (availabe in
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html)
says that mark the file as Hidden "[i]t's strictly equivalent to the
.desktop file not existing at all, as far as that user is concerned".
Considering all this, i think it's completely safe just remove
korganizer:kde4__korganizer-import.desktop and
kleopatra:kde4__kleopatra_import.desktop from app-install-data-ubuntu.
I tested this solution with no issues, and the bug was fixed for me with
the attached patch.

Title:
Duplicate entries for KOrganizer in Sofware Center
Status in “app-install-data-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I searched for a organizer in software center, and the entries for the
software KOrganizer are duplicated.
I attached a screenshot that shows that, after click in Install, the
progress bar appears for both entries.
Although it's not a major issue, took a while to realize that the
entries are duplicated. The duplicated progress bar may be misleading
for non-techical users, who can think that are two installations going
on.
