The shlibs bump was added to automatically increase the requirement for
these 3 packages on libgnome-menus2. Before the change, they needed to
ask for gnome-applications.menu instead of applications.menu. Now, the
renaming is automatically done within gnome-menus, but if you install
e.g. the new gnome-panel with a pre-2.16.1-1 libgnome-menu2, you'll end
up with an empty menu.

Alacarte does indeed need to be fixed, as it uses
gnome-applications-merged instead of applications-merged. However,
fixing alacarte would require API additions to python-xdg, which doesn't
look reasonable for etch.
