Unfortunately the issue is a little more subtle than it appears.
The shared library itself uses some text support files, for translated
strings and stuff like that. Because these are upwards-compatible
between library versions, but would collide if actually in the library
package, they're in the -desktop package. Which also has the actual
desktop support stuff.
The "right" solution is to split these apart, so the shared libraries
can have a strong dependency on these textual support files, with an
appropriate >> on the version. And the xdg-utils would not be pulled
in, or at least not so strongly.
My plan is to roll up my sleeves and do this split, which I have a
chance. (But I'd welcome a patch, of course!)
