Debian normally uses (if you installed the menu package) information
provided in /usr/lib/menu, and normal .debs install their information
there. After unpacking a new .deb, normally a program named 'update-menus'
is called. So, the perfect way to solve your problem is to create a new
file called /usr/lib/menu/rpms the same way like the others including the
calls to your locally installed rpms, and then call update-menus as root.
This way the changes would persist when a .deb calls update-menus after
installation. And it should work for all window managers in one run.
