Yes, this port will have to create directory. The
share/desktop-directories is a standard directory for many different
desktops (ie: GNOME, KDE, etc). It's pretty much as same as with
share/icons. It's why I said that xdg-utils is flawed for not create
those directory, because it is an installation tool.
