Yeah, and gnome-screenshot (!) and xclock as mentioned by Mark McLoughlin
are other examples. However, as commented on in an older reply, all three
are just tiny tools, in particular xclock, and it would be kind of strange
to include them in the menu next to big [modern] applications or let
them compete with panel applets or built-in features ("print" key for
executing gnome-screenshot) or default apps (The Gimp for acquiring
more flexible screenshots).

And afterall, this is only about documented packaging decisions in the
spec file.
