While we're on the subject of good practice, I've also noticed that 
the .desktop files that constitute the KDE menu are spread 
between /usr/share/applications/kde and /usr/share/applnk. Both locations 
seem to work, but is there a preferred standard? I've always used applnk, 
but with 3.2 applications/kde seems to have become more popular. If there 
is a preferred place, then this might be worth mentioning in 
Packaging.txt as well.
