XDG is not a Debian thing. Just ship the upstream one or send upstream
one if you want to target systems without menu-xdg. Run
desktop-file-validate over it first though to make sure it is valid.
Here is the standards doc if you need to write one.

Sounds useful, please send it upstream. I wonder if you can just ship
the .love file as /usr/games/mari0 and with an interpreter line of
#!/usr/bin/love-0.8 - no shell involved?
