How have the various distros been packaging their binaries? Would
this change affect what they have done already?
As long as it does not conflict, I am all for it (i.e. we do it once

AFAICT, Linux distributions provided their own version(s) of the
.desktop file. Perhaps the version provided by Fedora [1] could be
consulted, for example, to see what's already expected there, and
to provide parity in the version supplied by us.
