Fascinating. My local copy of the steam deb file was missing that file. It only included /usr/share/applications (the directory) and not the desktop file associated with it. The reinstall fixed it (redownloading the deb?). Weird. I only filed the bug because it seemed to be completely missing here.
Thanks for your help.
