It looks better now, add a semicolon just after 'Math' in the Categories field.

No, including a .desktop file is not really important at the moment. Intrepid is now in RC freeze. In one week we release it (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule).

IMHO, the best way is to submit a bug report against the package in Debian's BTS, attach the .desktop file and kindly ask the maintainer of the package to include it in the next upload. If this bug isn't fixed in Debian, then you can fix it in Jaunty by providing a debdiff. This wiki page will explain you how to make a debdiff: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff.

Anyway, if you fix this bug in Ubuntu (Jaunty), you will also need to forward it to Debian. So I think the preferred method is to get it fixed in Debian first and then we can sync.

Yes, as far as I know, it will be in the Add/Remove menu too.
