For context, the exact phrasing of the TC decision is "packages providing a .desktop file shall not also provide a menu file for the same application." This translates to "this situation constitutes a bug", but doesn't specify an explicit patch for the Debian Policy (aka doesn't explicitly lay down the severity of the bug). I'd argue that in the absence of a new Debian Policy version incorporating the TC decision, such situations would be 'serious' bugs. Can we work towards ironing an adequate wording? > I don't think I'll encounter the issue, seen as none of my packages > ship any menu entry, let alone a .desktop file, today. But yeah, it's > something I think I'll blatantly ignore if/when the time comes. Threatening to "blatantly ignore" the Debian Policy isn't terribly helpful. Cheers, OdyX
