Bug Description

For system-config-printer to appear in the new gnome-control-center, it needs the line

OnlyShowIn=Unity;

in its .desktop file (see https://code.launchpad.net/~rodrigo-moya/ubuntu/oneiric/system-config-printer/fix-787694/+merge/68656). In contrary to (nearly) all other programs coming with Ubuntu, the upstream Makefile uses the desktop-file-install utility to install the .desktop files. This utility analyses the .desktop files whether they are correct and errors out if not. The utility needs "unity" as a new exception.
