Package: menu
Version: 2.1.39
Severity: normal

Hi,

when bug #484167 was filed against cdd-common package I wondered how to
prevent the problem reasonably.  So I inspected menu.postinst and found the
snippet

        triggered)
                # This is triggered by any installation of a menu file and by 
                # any call to update-menus made in a package maintainer script. 
                update-menus --trigger
                exit 0

and I wondered whether I could easily detect whether cdd-menu was
called in a trigger process and some extra options / environment
variables were set to be able to detect that a trigger was caused.
Unfortunately the option --trigger is not documented in

   man update-menus

Please provide some information about the effect of this command line.

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining menu

         Andreas.
