Let's take this a step further, how keen would you be for the Packaging 
Guidelines to mandate including *more*, not less, desktop-specific 
freedesktop.org/XDG implementation details(1) into *all* packages 
(especially if it were for performance optimization only, not just for 
proper function)?  What if such nonsense could simply be avoided (or 
better, abstracted)?

(1)  One kde-specific example (off the top of my head):
* MUST: Packages installing .desktop files that register handling 
MimeTypes, MUST include scriptlet:

%{_bindir}/kbuildsycoca --global
