It's been deprecated from the freedesktop.org specification:

http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/apc.html

Also, it triggers a lintian warning if you leave it.

Added to Suggests, thanks.

I forgot dh_icons, and about dh_desktop I've just read somewhere (probably
here or on -devel) about "using it even if it doesn't register any MIME type".

I missed that. :(

Done. I've called it deskbar-plugins-pinot (as there is already a
"deskbar-plugins-strigi", for a similar project).

Done, thanks.
I've used python-support. Is there any difference between using the two
packages you mentioned? I don't know why, I've always used python-support, and
I can't find anything on the net (still googling, though).

I've moved it to modules-2.20-compatible/.

You can get the new package at the usual location:

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pinot/pinot_0.82-1.dsc

Thanks for reviewing my package,
David
