Sorry, that wasn't clear: people are currently reasonable with what they
include in the *freedesktop* menu. I'm not fond of the idea of
converting the Debian menu entries because it will lead to including all
that's currently in the *Debian* menu, which is not reasonable.
If desktop entries are not generated automatically, and if there are
clear rules on how they should be tagged, I think only a small number of
maintainers wouldn't follow them.
