I asked myself the same question this afternoon. My conclusioni was that
we don't need the dependency indeed.

Rationale:
  dh_desktop adds a postinst entry which does something only if
  update-desktop-database (shipped by desktop-file-utils) is available.
  The package desktop-file-utils, when installed, invoke
  update-desktop-database in _its_ postinst. As long as all packages
  using the .desktop entries (e.g. nautilus) depends on
  desktop-file-utils the dependency is thus useless.

I will revert my added dependency in a minute.

Cheers.
