Bug#447391: Warn about old menu format

["Andreas Tille" <tillea@gmail.com>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.34
Severity: minor

Hi,

according to

    http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/10/msg00316.html

there exists a menu-2 format since eight years.  It would be great
if lintian would check fro the new format because obviousely nearly
no developer knows about this new format.

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining lintian

       Andreas.
