libcanberra does. And AFAICS at least RB does. Would be good if
someone would go through all relevant packages and submit patches:

These things don't happen out of thin air. Unless someone actually
submits patches applications won't be tagged properly.

One thing that came to my mind recently is that we could extend the
module-augment-properties module to deduce the role automatically from
the 'Categories' item in the .desktop files. If we had a bit of code
that would look for "Games" and then deduce the role is 'games' this
would cover a bit more cases. This should be easy to add.
