  it's fairly easy, check the docs for menu package, check also the
/usr/lib/menu directory where the menu files for various debian packages

  you can add yours to /etc/menu

  run update-menus after you add/change menu, then restart you window
manager (it is usually possible without restarting X, so all your
applications etc. are intact...
