Bug#699390: Please drop menu from desktop task

[Michael Biebl <biebl@debian.org>]

Package: tasksel
Version: 3.14+deb7u1
Severity: normal

Hi,

as briefly discussed on IRC: I think menu should be dropped from the
desktop task. It's not really beneficial to desktop environments or
GNOME (or current default desktop). Window managers or desktop
environments which want menu or menu-xdg should have a Recommends or
Depends.

In case of GNOME 3, menu-xdg is actually counter productive, since it
litters the overview and search with duplicate menu entries.
So we decided to filter out any "menu" provided menu entries.

Cheers,
Michael
