Hello Daobing, I do not mind applying your patch, but I looked the XDG specification and all I could find is that Possible value types Some keys can have multiple values. In such a case, the value of the key is specified as a plural: for example, string(s). The multiple values should be separated by a semicolon. Those keys which have several values should have a semicolon as the trailing character. Semicolons in these values need to be escaped using \;. However, the field Categories in X-Debian-Help-info.desktop is Categories=X-Debian-Help which is a single value. The standard does not mandate a trailing semicolon in that case. So either desktop-file-validate is overzealous or the standard is imprecise.
