Probably wisely.  I think it's best to leave this alone for the time being
until we get more consensus on which way menu entries in general should
go.

Okay, I understand now (after also doing some more investigation).  You're
right, both of these are very obsolete and look like entirely reasonable
things to warn about.

See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=308440 for example (a
bug about using KDE Desktop Entry rather than Desktop Entry).

I'll apply those portions of this patch.
