Comment 2 for bug 261615

Thanks for reporting this bug and attempting to patch it. To get your fix included in Ubuntu, it would help if you tried transforming it into a debdiff (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff) and submit it for review (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess). If you prefer somebody else to do that, that's fine - please just indicate if you're available to do that.

The current debian/scribus.desktop file also fails to validate with desktop-file-validate. It would be great if your debdiff could fix this, since you are already patching the .desktop file to add a Categories tag.
