Hello Charles,

I wanted to clarify that there are also efforts to support both menu
systems and that the majority of games already integrate both.

https://wiki.debian.org/Games/JessieReleaseGoal

In my opinion the policy should at least mention the Debian menu as an
alternative menu system, so that all the effort until now was not
completely wasted. Menu files are easy to write and once written do not
impose more work for the maintainer. If the Debian menu is not mentioned
at all in Debian's policy, people will use this as a justification to
ignore even wishlist bugs for menu files.

Regards,

Markus
