Dear Maintainer,

The package description for libfile-desktopentry-perl contains a
broken link to the freedesktop specification at the very end of the
text.

Currently, it lists:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-1.0.html

However, freedesktop.org has moved its specification structure. The
URL should be updated to point to the current location:
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry/1.0/index.html

Please update the URL string in the package's control file description block.

Regards,
Jonathan D Johnston
