It's supposed to allow packages add menu entries to your menu
tree, in about every window manager that you may run. All you
need to do is install menu and a window manager, and use eighter
the default system.fvwm2rc from that window manager, or include the

# Read the auto-generated menus
Read /etc/X11/fvwm2/menudefs.hook
Read .fvwm2/menudefs.hook

....

Mouse 1 R A Menu /Debian


lines at the right place.

rulcmc:/usr/lib/menu$ ls |wc
     75      75     519

So, that's 74 packages on my system, and I don't have all packages installed
that use it. I estimate that about 1/2 or more of all packages that should
have menu entries have them now. But that is in "unstable".
