I had a look at your git repo. The desktop file looks fine but the menu
file is still missing an icon entry. However it's trivial to fix as I
have pointed out here:

https://wiki.debian.org/Games/JessieReleaseGoal

Just add an icon entry to your menu file with an absolute icon path and
point to your xpm file.

You can either convert the existing flightgear.png file to flighgear.xpm
(32x32 pixel) with GIMP or mtpaint and add that file to your debian
directory or you can use imagemagick in your dh_auto_build-indep target
in debian/rules:

convert -monitor -resize 32x32 $(CURDIR)/desktop/ballz.png \
$(CURDIR)/ballz.xpm

We are only interested in desktop and menu files and corresponding
icons, so no worries. :)

Thanks,

Markus
