No, this rule only applies to desktop files that create menu entries. We have
other desktop files for xsession entries, xfce4-panel plugins, kde services and
many more. These are not necessarily flowing the freedesktop specs and thus
cannot be installed with desktop-file-utils. This means that the desktop file
is ok for this package.

But there is another problem: Quoting from http://dwm.suckless.org/

Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it’s pointless to
make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No
novices asking stupid questions. There are some distributions that provide
binary packages though.

Damien, are you sure you want to package this? If you are willing to maintain
this, I'll go ahead and do an official review, but IMHO you really should think
about this twice.
