-- 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.
