You're right, I was checking through Policy to see what was going on, and it
refered me to the menu packaging manual; I must have forgot what document I
was looking at. ;) (/usr/share/doc/menu/html/ch3.html)

Okay, makes sense. =) I imagine then this probably happened because
dh_installmenu was changed to put my menu files in /usr/share/menu, but
lintian isn't/wasn't updated to use that path yet. (The same package with
the exact same build rules didn't give any lintian warnings on 24 Mar, 16
Apr, 18 Apr, or 19 May, and then suddenly did on 14 Jun; hence I thought it
was a chance in lintian).
I was mistaken on the cause--sorry about that--but the end effect is as I
described. Anyway, should be an easy fix. =)
