+commit 4775f07b5108f61a3910ca3110315c1543c109b5

+
+    Add application() and application(filename) provides for desktop files.
+    
+    Gnome software center needs to know what package to deinstall if it
+    needs to deinstall a desktop application. Looking up provides it much
+    cheaper than looking up which package owns a file.
+    
+    We also add an empty application() provides to make it easy to
+    enumerate all packages containing desktop applications.
