And will it be populated with an Emacs entry? I'm unclear now on whether
Emacs has .desktop file with NoDisplay=true in *all* installation
profiles, or only for the default Desktop one. If it is the former then
that is ridiculous, and if the latter needlessly baroque. The obvious
solution is not to install applications you don't want in the menu, but
if an application is installed it should have a menu entry.

Yes, but you're not one of the users the desktop installation profile is
aimed at are you?

That's not the point. How many other installed applications are also not
in the menu that someone might want to fire up out of curiosity?
