Ohh, you don't need to use PK on koji. If koji could spit out a
directory of .desktop files after they have been built then I can just
slurp them in at PK build time and give everything pretty icons and
localized descriptions, and even prompt to install the right thing for
an unknown extension.

In my dream fantasy world there would be a directory:

fedoraproject.org/random/offline-desktop/gnome-screensaver/gnome-screensaver.desktop

I could just slurp in this directory and then do some magic stuff.
