It doesn't override but when package is updated desktop database is updated with replacing modified desktop entry from home.

Its the same behavior with others too, you can try yourself.

That shouldn't be happening. There's nothing in the postman-bin PKGBUILD that would touch anything in your Home directory. I've never used the program, so I don't know what files it creates after running it. If it is overwriting your local desktop file, I would create an upstream issue so the developers can look into it.

Copy the desktop file from /usr/share/applications/ to ~/.local/share/applications/ and modify it there.

Sure, what do you suggest; delete? That's the best solution.

I don't think I would afford to update my desktop entry everytime I update the package.

There isn't much I can do on source myself as such compile myself as it is election based and original bin package is not going anywhere anytime soon.
