Oops, I'm sorry for that.

The thing is, Michael Bramer michael@grisu.weh.rwth-aachen.de 
opened bug 43005 saying that I should add those two files to menu.

I replied to the bugreport, saying that it's not menu's responsibility
to add those files, but that they should be in the conserning packages.

Then Michael replied that he agreed with that, and that he closed
the bug report.

After that, I assumed Michael also contacted the maintainers.
As a matter of courtesty I included them in menu anyway, as I
didn't want to be too rude to him.

So, that's the full story behind it.

I myself really don't feel like asking the maintainers of
the packages to inlcude menuentryfiles that I don't really
feel strongly about whether they should be included or not.

Anyway, I'll remove them again from menu, unless people
object. (I'm thinking of removing all /usr/lib/menu/default/*
files, as they become supurflues. Anyone against that?)
