  I don't think this will do what you intend. What will actually happen here is 
that an AppStream generator will not *merge* in data from any of the desktop 
files into the final metadata collection, only being limited to what is in the 
.desktop file. Having the two `launchable` tags though will make software 
centers ask the user which app they want to launch if they click on the 
"Launch" button in a software center, which in this case are both identical.
  
  If you just want to hide a .desktop file from being processed by AppStream, 
there is a much simpler solution: Just add `X-AppStream-Ignore=true` to the 
.desktop file in question, and it will be hidden (unless it is referenced in a 
metainfo file of course, in which case it may still be used as data source for 
that metainfo file).
