+- Add a desktop-file-utils Requires: this will make it easy for
+  everyone to use the RPM macros defined there, that are useful
+  when there is a .desktop file. After some thoughts, it is more
+  logical to add the macros in desktop-file-utils and to have a
+  Requires here (since all packages with .desktop files already
+  have a update-desktop-files BuildRequires), in my opinion.
