Description
The skeletons of the frameworks at https://docs.deno.com/runtime/desktop/frameworks/ are generated with a `package.json` (e.g. by `deno init --npm vite`). The schema of that `package.json` doesn't have the `desktop` key that `deno desktop` expects. It would help to have some guidance on the best practice for this situation:
- keep both `package.json` and `deno.json`?
- fold `package.json` into `deno.json`?

Research direction
Start with the desktop frameworks page at docs.deno.com/runtime/desktop/frameworks/ and inspect the skeletons generated by `deno init --npm vite`. Check how `deno desktop` reads `package.json` and `deno.json`, then document the recommended relationship between them. Done means the page clearly explains whether to keep both files or consolidate configuration, with guidance that applies to the listed framework skeletons.
