lintian already implements 20 .desktop file related tags, among which:

- desktop-command-not-in-package
- desktop-entry-lacks-icon-entry (which also triggers when an icon file cannot
  be found)

do you see value in adequate duplicating these checks?

see also relevant discussion, about where the boundary between lintian and
adequate should be drawn, at d563niwiqdz2.3tdk6btt7u...@debian.org

thanks,
serafi
