Bug Description

[Impact]

* app-install-data-partner doesn't install any .desktop files, so the
  Canonical Partners sections in the Ubuntu Software Center and the Muon
  Software Center are empty.

[Test Case]

* Install app-install-data-partner

* Open Ubuntu Software Center

* In the software drop-down list, select Canonical Partners

[Regression Potential]

* The package hasn't been updated for Precise or Trusty, so any change would
  be positive.

I don't think it's useful for ubuntu-desktop to recommend app-install-data-partner.

Does Ubuntu-meta need a fix too or can it be closed?

Bryan Quigley, I added the ubuntu-meta task, because ubuntu-desktop currently recommends app-install-data-partner, but that package doesn't look like it's ever going to be updated.
