So, it turns out this breaks the libreoffice flatpaks:

  https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/336

Because they export multiple desktop files from one app, by appending
"-foo" (i.e. org.libreoffice.LibreOffice-writer.desktop). This is no
longer allowed due to the above change.

Maybe we should consider reverting this change. The alternative is to
switch libreoffice to use "org.libreoffice.LibreOffice.writer.desktop"
instead, which should work fine.
