Ok, turns out this actually breaks everything as the provider
id needs to match the filename.

So we've brainstormed this with Alberto again and we have
a better solution, which will involve a patch to libaccounts-glib
to look into /usr/share/accounts/{providers, services}/$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP/*
with /usr/share/accounts/{providers, services}/* as a fallback.

This way we can install our files into special directory without
needing any new env vars and/or changes in AppArmor and/or
needing to rename anything. All this will need is a new release
of libaccounts-glib.

I'll keep this bug updated.
