Issue body

When building out a snap, I just ran into this: When the app name is capitalized the same way as the .desktop file, it works: apps: Alacritty: command: | env XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$SNAP_DATA alacritty desktop: Alacritty.desktop However, if it doesn't, like: apps: alacritty: command: | env XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$SNAP_DATA alacritty desktop: Alacritty.desktop when snapcraft goes to edit the exec line in the .desktop file, it just removes it instead and leaves a broken .desktop file
