debian/menu question



Hi,
a package maintained by me has an open bug regarding the debian/menu
longtitle field. (#445161)

Quoting Bill Allombert, the author of the bug report:

"
The longtitle must stand by itself without the title. It is generally a
good idea that it contains the software name preferably at the start.
"Cryptkeeper encFS system tray applet" would be better.
"

I've searched in the menu policy some instructions about this but I 
haven't found good instructions about best practices filling the longtitle
field. IMHO it's useless to repeat the application name on the longtitle
because it appears after a while under the mouse pointer (at least in gnome).

Your opinions?

Cheers,
francesco
