We can pick other choices (we already are doing it, upstream have no icons for
these entries, the default icon is an ubuntu patch)

What is the issue to have a generic icon, why do you want to set them by submenu ?

Right, every desktop file should point to a correct icon. That's the case with
the default desktop, there is no reason to not fix other packages. We can also
make a better default icon, as said before suggestions about this are welcome ...
