Hi, that's only true for desktop files and the Freedesktop specification. However it is different for Debian's menu files. If you don't provide the absolute icon path the icon won't be displayed. There is even a lintian warning for it. http://lintian.debian.org/tags/menu-icon-uses-relative-path.html See also https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu.html/ch3.html#s3.2 I admit that menufile(5) is confusing / wrong here.
