No problem, you just derive the menu entry id from the package
name.  "xcontrib/xterm", "xcontrib/xcalc", "xcontrib/foobar",
etc. This is much simpler, and also makes it much easier to
port the menus to other systems. Wouldn't you like a similar
thing for your Solaris box as well, even if that means your
admin needs to maintain /etc/menu (or /usr/local/etc/menu or
wherever) by hand, since the Solaris packages don't support this.
