Please stop whining around with the menu policy. There is nothing in the Debian policy about WMs/DEs having to support the Debian menu. In this case, the menu-xdg behavior breaks gnome-shell’s application tracking by duplicating menu entries; all of this for zero added functionality. > > In Gnome3, all Debian menu > > entries will appear in the Other category and produce duplicates when using > > the > > app search. > > Yes, this is expected. This way the original menu layout is preserved. The Debian menu was removed from gnome-menus. As such, the menu entries should stop appearing, but they don’t always, because update-menus run as user spams the user directory for XDG menus. > > The expected behaviour would be to just dump the menu entries in ~/.menu, > > not > > all entries in the system.

The current behavior is in violation of the XDG menu specification. Maybe the menu-xdg package should be removed from the archive if cannot comply with the specification it aims to implement. At the very least, for a possible fix, entries should be generated in another directory from ~/.local/share/applications, which is meant only for user entries. Then you can mention this new directory in /etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu. Another possible fix is for menu-xdg to add a X-Debian category for all generated desktop files, in addition to the current X-Debian-foo-bar. This way we can blacklist all such entries at once.
