Honestly, policy really needs to be updated to use the XDG standards menu spec, and every WM at this point really should be using them for their menus. I think the debian-menu system should be seen as legacy, since it has been replaced with a standard used and supported by many upstreams and many other distros. However, there's a few places where debian-menu is a better solution though. (It can be used to build menus for many WMs which do not support XDG, but honestly, do we need all these WMs?) Another solution would be to make debian-menu build .desktop entries for the menu in the main menu namespace and not the 'Debian' namespace; this seems like the easiest solution. William
