That's what I initially thought too. Problem is that it can't be easilly
configured from GUI:

1.) The package comes with a dozen of toy pictures that can be selected only
via command-line argument (like "xteddy -Fxbrummie"). (As far as I know Debian
used to have a submenu "Teddies" of "Games" menu just for selection of xteddy
pictures though.)

2.) The application can't be terminated using the desktop environment easily.
Correct way to terminate it is to point cursor at it and press q, which is a
bit unintuitive and may confuse a casual dekstop user, which would expect it to
terminate with xkill, or clicking at the task bar entry or window decoration,
which xteddy doesn't have.

Given the target group of people of this is the same as of xwud or xev (which
don't have desktop entries as well) -- people that tend to be familiar with use
of text terminal, I don't think this should have a desktop entry.
