While packaging for debian I ran into.

N: 
N:    This .desktop file does either not contain a "Keywords" entry or it does
N:    not contain any keywords not already present in the "Name" or
N:    "GenericName" entries.
N:    
N:    .desktop files are organized in key/value pairs (similar to .ini files).
N:    "Keywords" is the name of the entry/key in the .desktop file containing
N:    keywords relevant for this .desktop file.
N:    
N:    The desktop-file-validate tool in the desktop-file-utils package is
N:    useful for checking the syntax of desktop entries.

I have just checked most plasma/kde desktop files under Neon. All of them do not contain Keywords record, such as org.kde.dolphin, org.kde.kate etc...

All of them are failing in debian?

and also checked at https://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html

KEYWORDS is not required

It is only I - so information. It would not fail the build completely. Feel free to close.

I can add it but in order to be sure how the strings should be separated can you show me an example how it should look like?

_Keywords=dock;anythingthatcouldresultlattedockinsearch;

This goes in the desktop.in file, remove leading underscore if not generated.
