option 'a' would implies that g-d-p-runtime has access to g-d-p data to
make the magic happen; a dependency we don't currently have

[option c proposal]
pre-generated .desktop files shipped in game-data-packager-runtime at a
unusual place & a symlink in the generated .deb's to activate it

(but i don't like it more than option 'a' ^^)
