You want to drop a .desktop file into /usr/share/applications. You can

I've just searched and found an example.
My question therefore is; where do I place this .desktop file to be
installed by the package, and where do I place the icon to store that
into /usr/share/pixmaps? Is it an addition to the "rules" file?
I using CDBS, I came up with this:
binary-post-install/freeciv-cvs-client::
mkdir -p debian/freeciv-cvs-client/usr/share/applications
cp debian/freeciv-cvs-client.desktop \
debian/freeciv-cvs-client/usr/share/applications/
mkdir -p debian/freeciv-cvs-client/usr/share/pixmaps
cp debian/civclient.xpm debian/freeciv-cvs-client/usr/share/pixmaps/
uudecode debian/civclient.png.uu -o \
debian/freeciv-cvs-client/usr/share/pixmaps/civclient.png
This will work in a normal debian/rules file, you just need to choose an
appriate place to insert the rules.
