Please don't do that. As long as hplip is part of the default
installation, this pollutes the main menu with a vendor-specific
application with zero integration to the rest of the desktop. The
default etch installation looks like an advertisement for HP, let's not
extend this to lenny.

If you install such a desktop file, I recommend that you add a
"NotShowIn=KDE;GNOME" stanza so that it doesn't show up by default. It
can then be enabled on a per-user basis simply by editing the menu.

Cheers,
