"The package manager certainly shouldn't be removing files that it

Why not, if the files are useless? They are only used for that package.
Perhaps this is a job for computer-janitor?
Here is a relevant alacarte bug I filed.

That's not a bug in usb-creator. The package manager certainly shouldn't
be removing files that it doesn't own, from users home directories. I'm
not really sure of any way around this, but I'll keep the bug open for
now.

FWIW, the extraneous desktop file only appeared in
~/.local/share/applications because you previously edited the menu entry
with Alacarte.

Apparently the problem is alacarte. I can get the new profile to have
the leftover file if I touch the menu item in alacarte (i.e. unheck and
check it). I'll file a bug for that, I guess.
In any case, it would still make sense for the package to remove the
file in ~/.local/share/applications.
A new user profile does not show the same issue.
My user profile has ~/.local/share/applications and the new one does
not. This directory has the extraneous desktop file.
I have KDE4 installed alongside GNOME, if that makes a difference.

That's likely due to a left-over desktop file in your profile. Could you
please try with a new user profile and see if that exhibits the same
issue?
Thanks
