That may be my fault.

I introduced a macro into extra-cmake-modules
ecm_configured_install

which takes foo.bar.in runs cmake configure and installs as foo.bar.

That macro wasn't explicitly intended for .desktop file usage, but
it's certainly a place where I can imagine it being used.

Is it expected as some form of standard? If so, I can change that
macro to look for .in or .cmake files.
I remember in the review a discussion on the suffix for configurable
files and came to the conclusion that it was somewhat random, but .in
was the more common.
