Hello Narcis,
yes they will:
$ grep usr/share/applications /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File
/usr/share/applications mime-support/noawait
/usr/share/applications desktop-file-utils
/usr/share/applications gnome-menus/noawait
$ grep usr/share/mime/packages /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File
/usr/share/mime/packages shared-mime-info
See /usr/share/doc/dpkg-dev/triggers.txt.gz for (a lot of) details.

The short answer is: "because transmission-gtk/postinst is generated by
debhelper
fia dh_installmenu".
$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/transmission-gtk.postinst
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Automatically added by dh_installmenu
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && [ -x "`which update-menus 2>/dev/null`" ];
then
update-menus
fi
I am not sure why this is still needed while there is already a dpkg trigger
doing the work.
Anyway, as noted elsewhere, the Debian menu system is being phased out.
Have a nice day,
