Dear Maintainer,

pyspread creates the directory /usr/pyspread/share/applications/ and
places its .desktop entry into that directory, instead of using the
correct /usr/share/applications/ directory for that purpose.

I cannot pinpoint where exactly in the debian policy it is disallowed,
maybe a combination of ยง9.1.1 [1] "The location of all files and
directories must comply with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS),
version 3.0, [...]" and FHS [2]. It is however definitely the wrong
location for the .desktop entry, and does not function as intended.
