I didn't notice that there is already an outstanding bug open in the BTS asking for this feature, but suggesting the use of desktop-file-validate. I'm not sure if both bugs should be merged, as the checks I implemented are not as broad as the ones implemented in desktop-file-validate. In any case, I just wanted to let the lintian maintainers know that the checks I implemented can be easily extended based on the logic already present on this tool (written in C) available in the desktop-file-utils package.
