Sure, but they can not handle files with spaces in them. Also they
don't work as-is with Wine's winemenubuilder. Which will require
at least one more wrapper script. Also they don't allow installing icons
without specifying size. And all in all it will be 4 large scripts
instead of 1 small.

It's been discussed multiple times here. And last time I remember
agreement was not to introduce any additional dependencies.
I have also checked, and not a single distro had those installed.
I do not want to depend on something that's no one has, and no way to
distribute it to users either.

That's not his call but packagers. And the problem will remain the same.
