Benjamin -
which one?
I'd be inclined to not use the 2 'mime type' .desktops at all as they
don't seem to do any good.
I'd assume they are meant to register the listed mime's but don't, other
than that no real clue as to their purpose.
Without a %<letter> in the application .desktop sonic-visualiser won't
show in the context menu on any file, let alone .sv or .svl

As far as those 2 .desktops I looked for similar debian apps that used
such for examples of how written & installed, - qgis is one example

The other option would be to start a ticket on sourceforge & maybe find
out their reasoning
