-dh_desktop was a debhelper program that registers .desktop files.
+B<dh_desktop> was a debhelper program that registers F<.desktop> files.
However, it no longer does anything, and is now deprecated.
+If a package ships F<desktop> files, they just need to be installed in the
+correct location (F</usr/share/applications>) and they will be registered by
+the appropriate tools for the corresponding desktop environments.
