I agree with that,  since we do not want to be in a situation where we
install  .desktop, but we don't have the actual binary installed.
About the icons, I guess they should go with the .desktop file, since this
is the reason /usr/share/icons/hicolor exists.

I will try to update my changes and then upload them so that they can be
checked publicly.

Cheers,
Nick
