Yes, this is correct. But what is actually the advantage of calling
update-menus using triggers instead of doing it in the postinst.
I always assumed that triggers would care for calling a programm
at the right time (in the case of update-menus I would regard the
right time either at the end of a dpkg or an apt run) but definitely
not every time /usr/{lib,share}/menu is touched. Currently the
usage of triggers leads rather to more than to less calls of update-menus
while only one is really needed (except I'm missing something).
Kind regards
Andreas.
