lintian.d.o is completely hosed for desktop files at the moment because
it's still checking things other than Type=Application entries. The
current unstable lintian should be much better.
I guess I'll do yet another lintian upload. :)
Sorry for being not as polite as I should be about this. The whole
process of adding desktop checks has been very frustrating (for everyone,
I think -- sorry to all the KDE people!), and I'm vaguely annoyed that I
even did it, but that's not your fault! And I really do appreciate the
bug reports and feedback.
