But the freedesktop.org does not propose any structure.  Instead it
mandates a list of categories that should be used by .menu files to build
menus, the .menu files specifying the layout and the way categories are
presented to the users. The menu-xdg Debian package provide a
menu-method that generate a .menu file that implement the Debian menu
layout in term of the freedesktop.org menu draft.
