How to get the ubuntu software center entry improved

Asked by vexorian

I am the upstream developer. Very happy to see this in the repositories, but there are two things that are not very good.

The first one is that it seems like description and name are swapped in the software center.

The second one is that, although it is a GUI game, there is no desktop icon. Perhaps I should include a .desktop file in the source package and I will in the next version. But for quantal and hopefully precise, I would love the package to get updated with one.

The following is the .desktop file I use in this computer

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Xye
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=xye
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/xye.svg
Categories=Game;

xye.svg is included in the tarball package, but it can be obtained with this link: http://xye.sourceforge.net/xye.svg . It would also be nice if it was the icon in the software center too.
