No side-effects. Basically, the only thing you need is a metadata.desktop file 
and a mainscript (which is defined in the metadata.desktop file). The rest, 
(including names of directories inside content) is just eye-candy. Just delete 
what's not needed.

It's the same file, different name:

metadata.desktop : definition for the package
plasma-applet-$plasmoid.desktop : this is how the KDE plugin loader finds the 
applets. The best way is indeed to have cmake copy the metadata.desktop file. 
And yep, we need both.

This policy seems new to me, I don't think it applies right now (but don't 
really know if it should, or if we found a good reason for it not to).
