I use KDE and many non-KDE apps have a similar situation if they are nested
into a sub-menu. For example, the default eroaster menu entry doesn't show
at all in the KDE menuing system.
?package(eroaster):needs=X11 section=Apps/Tools title="ECliPt Roaster" \
command="/usr/bin/eroaster"
However, when I change "section=Apps/Tools" to "section=Apps/" it does appear
in the Debian sub-menu under the Apps section of the KDE menu bar. I'm
unsure if I should file a bug report and, if so, against which package.
