Hello Moritz,
There are several people interested with this. As far as the Debian menu
system is concerned, I am no objection implementing this proposal.
What is needed at this point is a draft policy defining what will be
the new layout and what will be the generic titles.
However that will not affect the KDE and GNOME main menu, only the
Debian submenu.
Cheers,
