Hello David, 
Assuming you are working on menu hints, I hope you are aware of
<http://people.Debian.org/~ballombe/menu> that contains all the menu
files and hints, not just the one installed on your box.

I don't think 'Other' is suitable as a hint, since hints needs to be globally
unique, they are not keyed to a section.

Yes, they belong to the menu file in the packages. However before
sending bug reports, please coordinate with Yann Dirso (CCed) who is the
main person taking care of hints.  

Thanks for your effort!
