Yes I had that in mind. That may be done automatically for
DESKTOP_ENTRIES, and for software-installed .desktop files we may
introduce something like INSTALLS_DESKTOP=yes (anologue to
INSTALLS_ICONS).

Am I right that update-desktop-database just updates an index of
.desktop files which menu applicatino should monitor with gamin/fam
so they're updated on the fly? I've tried to run it once, but at
least xfce4-menu which I use for testing was not updated.

Is there a good reason to duplicate some files there?

Hm, interesting one. If there's run-dependency on port with these icons
I believe yes, you can. If there is only build dependency, you can just
copy an icon in post-install (actually you can copy in in the first case
too, just to be sure).
