Charles answered your question, but I would like to point out that with GNOME 3, hierarchical menus have been removed in favour of a list of apps, a search box and a list of categories. Clicking the categories or typing in the search box filters the list of apps. If you install menu/menu-xdg with GNOME 3 you simply get your program in the list with an ugly icon (due to the scaling up of a small icon). If your app also supports the FreeDesktop menu standards then you get two icons for your app in the menu, one nice (if it is high res) and one ugly (XPM from the Debian menu). As a result GNOME upstream has been recommending that people remove menu/menu-xdg when running GNOME on Debian. I'm not sure if GNOME 3 will be the default for the release of wheezy but as a result it is important that any package with a Debian menu file also have a FreeDesktop menu file, at least until the day that all window managers and desktops in Debian support the FreeDesktop menu.
