I'm not a fan of moving files from -all to -any package, either.

software-package-data & mime-data scan individual packages and extact
binaries, desktop files, icons & mime data.

I know before it happened to me with Xiphos, because packages which do
not have both:
 - binary in /usr/bin
 - and desktop file
where not considered as 'apps', their icon did not show up in the
software centre, and it ends up as 'advance app' without an icon. Mime
finding also did not work, because it would install -all package,
instead of -any package, which actually has the binary to open the
project file.

I would test software-centre, but it is currently crashing for me (there
are bugs reported / uploads pending).
