I think Synaptic Package Manager should be in System, not in desktop
preferences menu, like gnome-system-tools. Nor I, nor any of my
acquintances never undertand why package management is Destop preference.

"Debian Tools" or "Debian System tools" is a bad idea. People never
understand why package management is in Debian Tools, but other
management tools, for example "User Management" is in "System Tools".
I think is not user friendy to add Distribution-Specific menu names,
only generic names, like Education (for gcompris and other educational
software from http://wiki.debian.net/DebianEdu project.
System Tools is crowded, because contains some stuff, that belongs to
Actions menu, for example "New login", "New login in a nested window",
"Run as a different user (GKsu)" and "Format floppy"
Look at this post for more info:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/2003/debian-gtk-gnome-200310/msg00373.html
I think there will be enough place for Synaptic if this stuff will be
moved from System Tools menu to Actions menu.
