debhelper (7.2.8) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
- * dh_desktop: Avoid using find -execdir as it will fail
- with certian badly configured PATHs (and is not a benefit
- in this context anyway). Closes: #521960
+ * dh_desktop: Now a deprecated no-op, since desktop-file-utils
+ uses triggers. Closes: #523474
+ (also Closes: #521960, #407701 as no longer applicable)

=head1 NAME
-dh_desktop - Register .desktop files
+dh_desktop - deprecated no-op
=cut
=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
-fragments to call F<update-desktop-database>.
-
-Note that since F<update-desktop-database> currently only handles mime
-types, as an optimisation, desktop files not containing MimeType fields
-will currently be ignored by dh_desktop.
+dh_desktop was a debhelper program that registers .desktop files.
+However, it no longer does anything, and is now deprecated.
