Bug Description

Currently the bitcoin-qt application's XDG desktop integration on some desktop environments requests that it be placed under the "Office" menu category.[1] This is a rather broad category and I would like to suggest that this be refined further into "Finance", given that XDG's menu specification allows for this.[2]

I believe the line in question in bitcoin-qt.desktop should be as follows:

        Categories=Office;Finance;

[2] <http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apas02.html>

This package was 'removed' from 12.04 and replaced with a dummy package. As such, this software has been removed from all later versions of Ubuntu. I am marking it "won't fix" as such.
