Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.6.2.2
Severity: wishlist

Background:
----------
The menu structure define the list of sections and subsections of
the Debian menu system (which are displayed in window-managers menus).
The official list is part of the Debian menu subpolicy.  This list is a
bit outdated, so we are proposing an update.

Proposal:
--------
Following discussion on debian-policy I am formally proposing the 
new Debian menu structure devised by Linas Zvirblis to be included
in the Debian menu subpolicy.

For transitionning from the old structure, the translate_menus system
will be reused.  

What should you do:
------------------
--- As a packages maintainer: check whether your menu entry fit in the
    new structure.
--- As a translator: check whether the new names are easier to
    understand and translate.
--- As a Debian user: check whether the new structure improve the Debian
menu system.

Thanks in advance for all your suggestions for improvement. Please send
them to this buglog so we find them.

Please find in attachment:
-------------------------
1) The proposed new menu structure

2) The translate_menus file. To experiment with the new menu structure,
copy this file to /etc/menu-methods/ and rerun update-menus, the new
menu structure will be in effect as far as renaming of section are 
concerned (this will not add/remove new sections by itself).  Note that
this is English only until menu is translated (which will happen as soon
as the new structure is finalised and official).
