Unfortunately, Jim is offline so he can't explain his concepts.
I hope he has good arguments for it, since I would not like to have two
concurring menu systems in Debian: menu and dwww. I think it shouldn't be
too hard to change the menu package to dwww's needs, if this should be
necessary.
If the text of my "Policy Proposal" actually works with the current "menu"
package, I'd say we include this in the next Policy Manual. If Jim is back
and we should decide that the registering method really has to be changed,
we can simply adopt the Policy again.
Joost, is the proposed text correct?
Thanks,
Chris
