Ah, OK, sorry.

Read the bug report again. ;-)
There are at least two obsolete directories (the ones GNOME and KDE were using
in the past), and the new one, the one that FreeDesktop standarized. But this
place is __only__ for menus (and desktop files have other purposes, as
your .desktop in kaquarium for registering a kicker applet, or the ones used
for service menus, kparts, etc.).
And this is the reason why lintian has a bug in this test.

What says the Makefile.am? Looking in kdeaddons/kicker-applets/, I see that
the standard place seems to be $(kde_datadir)/kicker/applets. If your
Makefile.am installs the desktop in the same place, it's OK (it seems so).
Take a look at this document, I hope it will be useful:
