Description

qgis.desktop says:
[...]
TryExec=/usr/bin/qgis
Exec=/usr/bin/qgis %F

The binary appears to be called /usr/bin/qgis.bin now?

This bug means that qgis can only currently be run by using the command /usr/bin/qgis.bin

qgis.desktop didn't need to be changed. The diversion was broken in an update. There always should be /usr/bin/qgis (but if the grass plugin is installed - and for a while the grass provider - /usr/bin/qgis is a wrapper script that calls /usr/bin/qgis.bin; See #13485). If you don't have /usr/bin/qgis your qgis grass package are probably in some broken state. I'd try purging and reinstalling the packages.
