I was following up on Rahul's request for the policies of the various Distros.

While I don't expect there's much desire by other distribution to adopt this 
system, the Debian menu maintainers should probably be invited to discuss 
ideas for a common .desktop and menu scheme.  Perhaps ideas from the Debian 
menu system could be used as a starting point for a more consistent menu 
management policy across distributions.
