Yes please. If they save tons of efforts via the Oh So Ugly
mechanism of standardization </sarcasm> then let's just do it.
I'm tired of the non-standard behaviour of too many Linux distros.
Let's forcefully change that for the better.
I'd say it's fair to slightly penalize those who don't comply.

Besides, xdg-utils happens to already be installed on my
Debian testing box:
# dpkg -l|grep xdg-utils
ii  xdg-utils                               1.0-1                                    \
Desktop integration utilities from freedeskt

Most likely that happened due to some Recommended: or Suggested:
line (I'm adding most recommended packages to my install/upgrade list).
I certainly didn't explicitly do it because I heard of this cool package...
