I guess we should. However, the way I've been doing that so far is simply
installing most of what happens to be on my system in /usr/lib/menu/default,
to show a (by me) "accepted" look. After some time, people start to
expect menuentries for stuff, and people automatically start fileing
bugreports against packages that don't supply menuentries.
