Here is "desktop-file-install" provided by fd.o desktop-file-utils, but
it's not used :-(  Maybe someone could hack on gnome-common rules

See the --rebuild-mime-info-cache option.

-----------
[prova redrum prova]$ desktop-file-install --help
Usage: desktop-file-install [OPTION...]
  --vendor=STRING                  Specify the vendor prefix to be applied to
                                   the desktop file. If the file already has
                                   this prefix, nothing happens.
  --dir=STRING                     Specify the directory where files should be
                                   installed.
  --add-category=STRING            Specify a category to be added to the
                                   Categories field.
  --remove-category=STRING         Specify a category to be removed from the
                                   Categories field.
  --add-only-show-in=STRING        Specify a product name to be added to the
                                   OnlyShowIn field.
  --remove-only-show-in=STRING     Specify a product name to be removed from
                                   the OnlyShowIn field.
  --delete-original                Delete the source desktop file, leaving
                                   only the target file. Effectively "renames"
                                   a desktop file.
  -m, --mode=STRING                Set the given permissions on the
                                   destination file.
  --copy-name-to-generic-name      Copy the contents of the "Name" field to
                                   the "GenericName" field.
  --copy-generic-name-to-name      Copy the contents of the "GenericName"
                                   field to the "Name" field.
  --remove-key=STRING              Specify a field to be removed from the
                                   desktop file.
  --add-mime-type=STRING           Specify a mime-type to be added to the
                                   MimeType field.
  --remove-mime-type=STRING        Specify a mime-type to be removed from the
                                   MimeType field.
  --rebuild-mime-info-cache        After installing desktop file rebuild the
                                   mime-types application database.
