 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-dh_desktop is a debhelper program that registers .desktop files.
-Currently this program does not handle installation of the files, though it
-may do so at a later date. It takes care of adding maintainer script
-fragements to call F<update-desktop-database>.
+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.
