The main section of the menu is the Freedesktop vFolder/Menu
specification. The Debian/ tree is the distro-specific Debian menu
files stuff.
Personally I wouldn't like to see the Debian menu integrated into the
GNOME menu, I feel the GNOME menu categories are superior, and contain
far less junk items (the Debian menu contains xlogo, xsetroot, xedit,
dc, orphaner, etc).
I also feel that the Debian menu system should be ditched in Sarge+1 and
replaced with the Freedesktop menu spec, but that is the cause of the
two flamewars.
