Package: steam-installer
Version: 1:1.0.0.75+ds-6
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: jaredepp at pm.me

Dear Maintainer,

I just removed steam with "apt purge steam-installer". In the process it warned 
me that ~/.steam would not be removed and I should remove it manually (I did). 
But I also noticed Steam still appeared in the applications menu (I'm using KDE 
Plasma). I fixed that by deleting ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop 

It's extremely minor but I think it would be good to let the user know it needs
to be deleted manually along with ~/.steam , or to delete it automatically.

Thanks!

Jared
