While it would be good to have infrastructure to support automatic
down-converting to the Debian menu standard where appropriate, you can
probably see that converting, say, a 64x64 png to a 32x32 xpm is going to
give inferior results than if an icon is provided that was created for the
target resolution; so having menu itself automatically import .desktop files
at runtime doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
