Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I clicked on the root menu of TWM and tried to find an entry to launch
Firefox in "Debian/Applications/Network/Web Browsing"
* What was the outcome of this action?
I couldn't see a menu entry to launch Firefox.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
A menu entry to click and launch Firefox.

Chapter 4 - What packages with applications should do
4.1 Providing a menu file
A package should provide a menu file /usr/share/menu/<package-name>
that contains information about each program it likes to make available
in the menus.
4.2 Adding a hook for dpkg in your packages
The postinst script and the postrm script of the package should include
the line
if test -x /usr/bin/update-menus; then update-menus; fi
If you are using debhelper, the program dh_installmenu can do it for you.

Thank you in advance
