Description
### Describe the bug
App updates recreate desktop shortcuts, which results in frustrating behavior for users not desiring such desktop shortcut. The user clearly told the system they do not want this app shortcut by deleting it. The system should abide this choice.
### Steps to reproduce the bug
1. Install an app that is using `desktop7:Shortcut` to create a desktop shortcut
2. Delete the created desktop shortcut
3. Install an update to the app
4. Observe the shortcut comes back
### Expected behavior
The shortcut should be created during initial install, but not recreated in future updates.
