Hello Jack,
The menu manual is here
file:///usr/share/doc/menu/html
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu.html
The menu subpolicy is here
file:///usr/share/doc/debian-policy/menu-policy.html/
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu-policy/
They are linked from the 'http://www.debian.org/devel/' page here:
* Menu system
Programs that have an interface that need not be passed any
special command line arguments for normal operation should have a
menu entry registered. Check the menu system documentation, too.
Cheers,
