Sure, but that's conceptually no different than the case where gedit owned
the scriptlet but (also) had no dependency on desktop-file-utils.
either way, if desktop-file-utils is not present, the effect is nothing
happens. We only care about the case when desktop-file-utils *is* present
and that case already works without adding any package dependencies.
Rex, do you by any chance remember why the packaging guidelines say to
not add a dependency on desktop-file-utils? Does KDE not want the
dependency?
All I could find was
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=180899#c2
that just hand waves the reasons and only says "it was agreed that it is
wrong/wasteful /.../"
