No, drop the file. Applications install their desktop files into
        /usr/share/applications

The files in /usr/share/app-install are copies of them,
with some additional meta-data (popcon value and package
name) added to them by scripts. Software Center and other
tools use those desktop files to show packages that can
be installed.

Packages other than menu-data and app-install-data must not
install files there.
