The desktop files for qgis & qbrowser are correct.

/usr/bin/{qgis,qbrowser} are shell wrappers that set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for
the GRASS version on the system.

This is used to support multiple GRASS versions on the same system.

The desktop files in the qgis backport work as expected, there shouldn't
be any need for your patch.
