Bug#706966: Info of new tag desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry is confusing



Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.12
Severity: normal

The current wording of the desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry info text
is quite confusing because it talks about "categories" and "keywords"
but both are valid keys in .desktop files. But as I understand it the
text does not mean the "Categories" key but just talks about general
keywords as categories. With the current wording I first thought that
this lintian warning is about the "Categories" entry while it actually
is about the "Keywords" entry.

Current paragraph:
The categories for this desktop entry do not contain any Keywords.
Keywords should not be redundant with the values of Name or GenericName.

Suggestd improved version:
The "Keywords" entry for this desktop file does not contain any
Keywords. Keywords should not be redundant with the values of Name or
GenericName.
