Adam Reichold proposed the following answer:
Hello MDP,

this is the intended behaviour:
"/usr/share/applications/qpdfview.desktop" is part of the application
package and is installed without customizations. If you want to make
persistent changes to this file, you should copy it to
"~/.local/share/applications" in your home directory and edit that file
which will then have precedence over the system-wide desktop file. (And
won't change when qpdfview is updated. Of course, if we ever make some
substantial change to the desktop file, you will need to copy it again
by hand. But this is one of the most stable files in the whole source
tree so this does not happen often.)

Best regards, Adam.
