Hi, http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu-policy/ch2.html#s2.1 specifies that "Here is the authoritative list of Debian's menu structure. **Packages must be placed in leaf sections.**" (emphasis mine).

I can't find any reference to this arrangement in DP or maintainer manuals, nor I have installed any package that do this. I carefully check the menu files in my boxes and can't found any app showing up in two places. Anyone can comment on this point, please? (IMHO it's not good to get a bigger or longer menu, so showing several entries for one app is at least questionable on this point.) > find, and avoid it showing up in lost+found for those without the > extra-xdg-menus package installed. Those with the package installed Would be better if we depend on extra-xdg-menus? Thanks, Fer
