That is indeed a more-or-less known bug in the update-menus programme.
I'm going to fix that, but I'm somewhat surprised, as there is a 
hack menu-0.11 that should make it work OK for you (if you run
dpkg -i sports.deb). Are you using dpkg to install more than one
packge at the same time?

Anyway, just release your package as it is now, and tell everybody
that with menu-1.0 it should work OK.

It's OK with me, except that you do run the risk of creating another
next-to-empty section. Maybe "Adventure" is better? (I'm just
not sure).

Thanks,
