Bug#791780: alien-arena: Desktop file is missing

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Package: alien-arena
Version: 7.66+dfsg-2+b2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Alien-arena used to have a desktop-file, but it seems to have 
disappeared from
recent releases.

Compare the file list for alien-arena 7.53+dfsg-3:
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/alien-arena/filelist
and 7.66+dfsg-2:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/alien-arena/filelist

Without the desktop file, the game doesn't show up in the menus of 
various
desktop enviroments, meaning users need to start it from the command 
line.

I briefly skimmed the package sources, and the desktop-file seems to 
still be
present there, so I am not sure why it doesn't end up as part of the 
binary
package.
