FWIW, it seems there is at least partial support for that already. At
least on my testing system, there is:
NAME
desktop2menu - create a menu file skeleton from a desktop file
SYNOPSIS
desktop2menu --help|--version
desktop2menu desktop file [package name]
DESCRIPTION
desktop2menu generates a skeleton menu file from the supplied
freedesktop.org desktop file.
The package name to be used in the menu file may be passed as an
additional argument. If it is not supplied then desktop2menu will
attempt to derive the package name from the data in the desktop file.
