We can do this without too much fuzz if it's acceptable that it only works if you install the app while Unity is running (or specifically the unity-place-applications daemon). That is - the "easy" fix wont work if you install from a pure TTY session or classic gnome session. This "easy" solution can be implemented purely inside the unity-place-applications daemon.

The slightly cooler, more elaborate, and always-working solution would be to have an apt/dpkg/whatever hook that sends an event to Zeitgeist whenever you install a package that contains one or more desktop files.
