pkg-kde-tools clean up .desktop files and lintian complain

[Daniel Rocher]

Binary package hint: pkg-kde-tools

pkg-kde-tools clean up .desktop files (remove X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain lines).. Lintian dont like that:
   W: package source: patch-system-but-direct-changes-in-diff file.desktop and 3 more

I use quilt but patches doesn't change this files. If I comment this lines:
# clean up edited .desktop etc files
#if [ -f /usr/lib/kubuntu-desktop-i18n/createdesktopcontext.pl ]; then \
# sh /usr/lib/kubuntu-desktop-i18n/findfiles LIST; \
# for file in `cat LIST`; do \
# sed -i '/X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=/d' ${file}; \
# done; \
# rm -f LIST; \
# fi

in /usr/lib/kubuntu-desktop-i18n/kubuntu.mk, .desktop files don't change and lintian return no error.

Upstream should not use this domain in their .desktop files. You probably want to ping them about this, as there is no sane way to work around them using it.
