I would expect the list of terminals to be empty on the Debian buildds,
since those should normally not have any terminal emulators installed in
the build chroot. Yet configure still adds "Utility" there, is that
intended?

For Debian we should configure --with-desktop-category to make the build
deterministic, since the presence of random packages on the build system
should not change the outcome.
