I was wondering why this hasn't happend yet.... And I discussed with a fellow developer and he raised some interesting concerns wrt/ that: Putting the menu files into /usr/share would make files in /usr/share depend on stuff in architecture directories. The purpose of /usr/share is that it is shareable amongst different machines. If you use such a setup an update-menus on a machine that doesn't have the package installed would create a menu entry that simply doesn't work. I am not sure if this is wanted, so at least I take back my request to put menu files into /usr/share/menu (on the other hand, it might make sense for Architecture: all packages). I guess this should be discussed more widely, on debian-devel. I'm Ccing it now. Please discuss there, and Cc me on replies.
