Ticket details:
There's no conversion at all from our .desktop.in to .desktop, and there won't be in a foreseeable future. The "conversion" probably exist just to copy the files from under bootstrap/ to binaries own build directories, which in itself serves no purpose but just complicates things.
Stop making that conversion step, and store the files as .desktop in the repository (and tarballs). In addition to being a cleanup to autotools based builds, it makes the files available for meson based builds (-> targeting 3.1) without need to implement the "conversion" step there.
