There's two ways to do it within the Debian menu system. To add an entry
globally, place a menufile(5) in /etc/menu/ and run update-menus as root.
To add it only for your user, put the menufile in ~/.menu/ and run
update-menus as the user.
Remember that, if you run update-menus as a user, the menu will no longer
be updated automatically by package [de]installation scripts. One solution
would be to add a call to update-menus to your ~/.xsession to update them
whenever you start X.
You could, of course, ignore the Debian menu system and edit the menu
definitions by hand. Remember then to disable update-menus or remove the
menu package so your changes won't be clobbered.
