Agreed. If someone has taken the time to create a *.desktop file for
the binaries in your package, accept the file and drop it in place.
This doesn't invalidate the Debian Menu system in any way. If it turns
out to be a better source of data concerning the application for desktop
or menuing environments, so be it. It will prompt a critical look at
the menuing system as we know it.
If anyone wants to create *.desktop files for pnm2ppa or gtimer
(currently being adopted by a new maintainer), feel free.
