Well, I don't think the ability to edit menus, be it for adding the
Debian menu or something else, is a core feature. We're talking about
the default behaviour here and the default GNOME installation is
gnome-desktop-environment.

Anyway, maybe we could add alacarte to gnome-panel's Recommends: to
avoid that.
