Most users don't do it, but you have:

-----------UPDATE-MENUS(1)
(...)
    Menu files: (Earlier listed directories override those listed later.)
           ~/.menu/*
                  Menu  files  added  by the user. (Isn't read if root runs
                  update-menus)
           /etc/menu/*
                  Menu files added by the system administrator.
           /usr/lib/menu/*
                  Menu files provided by other Debian packages.
           /usr/share/menu/default/*
                  Menu files provided by the menu package. (These are  for
                  packages  that don't provide menu entries yet. If you see
                  (or maintain) a package that  supplies  a  menu file  in
                  /usr/lib/menu/, please email me and I'll remove that menu
                  file from /usr/share/menu/default/).
