Reading through setupp/install.py I also see a comment that one needs to set XDG_DATA_DIRS, which I did, without any change.

I will try to fix this so that the correct desktop files are installed.
Indeed, there are many bugs. The problem is that xdg-mime and xdf-desktop-menu does not honor XDG_DATA_DIRS and hard code the location of gnome dirs to /usr/ something, which cannot be overriden. Thus the build fails.

I have fixed that now locally in my repo by changing the linux.py installation routine for debian to use 'install' instead of xdg-mime/xdg-desktop-menu for the debian builds.

Best
