Don't menu files say what package they belong to for exactly this
reason? For instance:
?package(gnomemeeting):needs="X11" section="Apps/Net"\
title="GnomeMeeting"\
command="/usr/bin/gnomemeeting"
I've never tested it, but I thought that update-menus was supposed to
ignore menu files corresponding to nonexistant packages.
