Hi all,

forgive me for repeating always the same thing once or twice a year ;)

I think that the Debian Menu should use the fd.o Destkop menu entry format.
This would already unify a lot both systems, and simplify packages as we could
then contribute many .desktop files upstream and move them out of the Debian
part of our source packages.

The formats are not as dissimilar as one can think at first:

I am unable to help for the programatic part, but I do volunteer to give a
significant part of my Debian time to help the transition.

Have a nice day,
