Raphael,

Thank you for your suggestions, I will take them up.  The CrossTeX
Tutorial is available as documentation within the package as well as
online; what is the proper way to cite that in a man page?

"which can be found on Debian systems in
/usr/share/doc/crosstex/crosstex.pdf.gz"

 Does it makes sense to provide menu information for a command-line tool?
You tell me that ;-) if it isn't needed then remove debian/menu.
