Bug#1017078: lintian: deprecating menu files in favor of desktop entries?



Package: lintian
Version: 2.104.0

Hi.  I got a request to drop the menu file for netkit-telnet:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/netkit-telnet/-/merge_requests/1

The submitter says that menu files are deprecated in Debian, and I could
see some indirect indications of this, but if true it would be great if
lintian could help here.

Given policy 9.6 --
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#menus --
perhaps lintian should suggest that the maintainer write a desktop entry
for the package whenever a menu file is found?
