Debian patch: creating a valid desktop file

[Apo]

Hi all,

I'm the new maintainer of Armagetron Advanced for Debian/GNU Linux. I just wanted to forward a small patch that creates a valid desktop file. You can verify the validity by running the desktop-file-validate tool from the desktop-file-utils package on Debian systems.

The patch adds keywords, a comment in German and removes the file extension from the icon field.

Unfortunately bug reporting on Sourceforge is disabled thus I'm attaching it to this post.

Thanks, applied it.

(We now use the Launchpad bug tracker, but posting it here was definitely the best way to get it to our attention quickly.)
