The situation is different. It is not that all environments support
Debian menu but many of them invented their own menu system. The Debian
Menu system just provides scripts to translate a common (Debian invented)
format to support each specific menu system. So the correct formulation
of your suggestion is: "What about porting all these scripts to use
freedesktop.org format input and at the same time fix all packages that
only have a menu but no desktop file."
You will never manage to "force" upstream authors of different environments
to support freedesktop.org standard because you have no handle to force
anybody in Free Software.
Kind regards
Andreas.
