Here is another use case:

At build-time "desktop2menu" may be even more useful than "licensecheck".

Indeed B-D on "devscripts" and "libfile-desktopentry-perl" (needed by 
desktop2menu) is a bit overkill but still helpful to translate upstream 
.desktop file(s) to  .menu during package build.

Cheers,
Dmitry.
