Have a heart for packagers like me: Please reintroduce *.desktop - or is standalone no more supported?

One problem with that is that
Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;is distro-specific. Also some distros, understandably, changed the binary name to be all lower-case in/usr/bin/and the .desktop file was invalid.I'd rather leave it to packagers to do this correctly instead of blindly copying this from upstream.

An argument for keep the desktop file in upstream source (here): so there is some issue with the categories, OK. But removing the whole file is throwing away some stuff which are great to be upstream (here) rather than done in each distribution packages (and PPA,....), such as: comments, comments translation, icons.
Could you please @x42 keep the .desktop file upstream (maybe not in a debian/ directory, but in a more general "resources" or "packaging" one) then we can try to keep consistency across distributions?
