Hi folks

While trying to figure out a way to install some desktop specific files (such as APP.desktop or APP.appdata.xml) within the installation prefix (instead of python installation) using setuptools, I started wondering if it's actually a good idea.

AFAIK setuptools (PyPA) considers this a bad practice and doesn't (want to) support this. It's up to the Linux package maintainers to do this.

I don't remember where this information comes from, but I'm 90% sure it's accurate.

Peter and/or Nick might know more. Cced.
