Login managers that use xsession files will parse this key and set $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP accordingly. That environment variable, in turn, will influence other components that can exhibit desktop-specific behavior.
I've added this a few years ago (9caab3f) after Lintian started complaining about it. Looking back, that was probably not the right call: the validation that is performed for .desktop files is based on the assumption that they are describing applications, which makes sense as that's the overwhelming majority of .desktop files out there, but doesn't quite apply to us. Looking at other xsession configurations shipped in Debian, none of them includes the Keywords key. Let's drop it.
