I was wondering why this hasn't happend yet....
And I discussed with a fellow developer and he raised some interesting
concerns wrt/ that:
Putting the menu files into /usr/share would make files in /usr/share
depend on stuff in architecture directories. The purpose of /usr/share
is that it is shareable amongst different machines. If you use such a
setup an update-menus on a machine that doesn't have the package
installed would create a menu entry that simply doesn't work.
I am not sure if this is wanted, so at least I take back my request to
put menu files into /usr/share/menu (on the other hand, it might make
sense for Architecture: all packages).
I guess this should be discussed more widely, on debian-devel. I'm
Ccing it now. Please discuss there, and Cc me on replies.
Just a thought,
Alfie

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Gah, I meant /usr/lib/menu obviously...
