Description
The drracket.desktop in debian has diverged from the one upstream as follows:
*** share/pkgs/drracket/drracket/drracket.desktop 2019-01-01 07:26:33.722673917 -0400
--- debian/drracket.desktop 2019-01-01 07:26:33.694673206 -0400

In https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=923493 a debian user suggests
The desktop file for Linux (/usr/share/applications/drracket.desktop) is missing the additional category 'IDE' which is a
sub-category of 'Development'. Please see the documentation about desktop files here:
<https://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apas02.html>
This category should be added.
I'm no expert on (or even user of) .desktop files, but maybe these changes could be considered upstream?

Reconcile the desktop-file entries, including the proposed IDE category and the listed Debian additions, then verify that the resulting file matches the intended upstream behavior.
