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...
