It seems to me that you are wrong, since when new packages are installed,
update-menus considers the users who run update-menus as well.
I am saying that on the basis of the following lines (from
/usr/doc/menu/html/ch5.html):
Start quoting "
Debian Menu System - chapter 5
The internals of the menu package
5.1 The update-menus program
On startup, update-menus checks the file /var/run/update-menus.pid
and the pid in it. If there's an update-menus process with that pid it kills
it. If
/var/lib/dpkg/lock exists, it forks to background and returns control to
dpkg. The background process checks the /var/lib/dpkg/lock file approx.
every second until the file's gone.
After that, the following steps are performed:
1.sets a variable $dirs to
dirs="/etc/menu /usr/lib/menu /usr/lib/menu/default"
(and if a user runs prgn/update-menus/, it will add ~/.menu to the front of
that list)
2.it reads the list of installed packages
3. for d in $dirs; do
" End quoting.
Am I right ?
