Seems to me that the bug here is that the click hooks for the user
session aren't run when the click package is installed with --all-users.
The click hook should make that symbolic link.

Title:
  "Unable to find keyfile for application": Does not look for .desktop
  files in click pkgdir

Bug description:
  For testing/autopkgtest I want/need to run click apps and their tests
  in a schroot or container, as the turnaround with real phones and the
  emulator is way too large. But in a container, ubuntu-app-launch fails
  with

  $ ubuntu-app-launch `ubuntu-app-triplet com.ubuntu.calculator`

  ** (process:766): WARNING **: Unable to find keyfile for application 'com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283'
  init: application-legacy (com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283-1403523098604203) pre-start process (770) terminated with status 1

  In strace I see that it looks for the .desktop file in the following
  locations:

    /home/ubuntu/.cache/ubuntu-app-launch/desktop/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop
    /home/ubuntu/.local/share/applications/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop
    /usr/local/share/applications/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop
    /usr/share/applications/com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.283.desktop

  but not in the click dir:

  $ click pkgdir com.ubuntu.calculator
  /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/@all/com.ubuntu.calculator

  The workaround is to create the symlink manually, then it works:

  $  ln -s `click pkgdir com.ubuntu.calculator`/*.desktop .cache/ubuntu-app-launch/desktop/`ubuntu-app-triplet com.ubuntu.calculator`.desktop
  $ ubuntu-app-launch `ubuntu-app-triplet com.ubuntu.calculator`

  But that's certainly not something that autopkgtest should do.
