This is my cut-n-paste error.  The reporter is absolutely correct that
the component type should not be desktop as there is no .destop file
associated with the package.

The quick and actually working fix is to replace '<component
type="desktop">' with '<component>'.  A more correct entry would be to
use '<component type="console-application">', but at least on Debian
these two are equivalent.

I am terribly sorry for not noticing when I sent the original patch.
