I do the same.

They are easy to add *if* you have something to add. But you have to
*have* an icon before you can add it to the Debian menus. I'm not an
artist (anyone who can see my x-face will agree), so if there's no
icon in the upstream source, I don't put an icon in the menu entry for
my packages.

The infrastructure is all there; the documentation for the menu system
even includes examples of language translation (it's done with
filters). See /usr/doc/menu/examples/translate_menus. What's needed
are: a) translations, and b) easy-to-use user configuration tools.
So, yes, you can have Debian menus in Swedish right now -- it just
requires a bit of work....
And one disadvantage of Debian's menu system as compared to Gnome's is
that the translations, at least at the moment, must be stored and
maintained separately. And doesn't use locales.

I agree completely.
But I'm afraid we may be drifting off-topic for this list.
