[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 236602] Re: No applications available for photo editing if Gnome is not installed

[Milan Bouchet-Valat]

That's what I was expecting (fearing)... The spec does not go until that
part - though IMHO it could have been good to have a common command to
do this kind of thing.

The problem is, no package except ubuntu-desktop and a few others depend
on desktop-file-utils. So fixing that "detail" would really be a pain
for many packagers. From what I understand, there used to be a Debian
tool called dh_desktop, which has just been marked as deprecated; looks
like we should now use directly update-desktop-database, but what about
KDE? What I can expect is that every desktop environment should depend
and use its own tools, and that we are still in the middle of a
migration, so maybe we should open bugs against gimp and friends
separately...

I'd really like a packaging guru to confirm that! ;-)
