Re: packages broken
I had a corrupt .desktop file in /usr/share/applications, removing it
and running update-desktop-database fixed the problem and I was able
to finish installing the limbo packages. A developer has fixed the
problem in desktop-file-utils and a patch is ready , per the forwarded
message below, for the Debian package maintainer to apply.

Thanks, I've fixed this in desktop-file-utils. You can get a patch here for
debian if you want:

(also, note that bugs of desktop-file-utils are tracked in freedesktop.org
