Hi,

according to

    http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/10/msg00316.html

there exists a menu-2 format since eight years.  This should
be regarded in the menu policy.

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining debian policy

          Andreas.

Debian Policy itself does not document the format of menu files, only
defers to the Menu Policy and the menu system documentation, and the Menu
Policy only documents the categories, not the format of the files.  A
different supported file format for the menu files isn't relevant to
Policy as currently written.

Closing this bug accordingly.

If you believe the format of these files should be described in Policy
rather than only in the menu system documentation, that's a different
question and would warrant a separate bug, but I'd be very hesitant to
take that step unless the menu maintainers felt that was desirable.
Policy already has a bit more than it can chew at the moment.
