Well, garcon complies with the xdg menu spec, so following <http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html> is possible, or using any menu editor. The easiest solution would be for the menu-xdg package to provide, in addition of its current /etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu, a menu file in /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/, which would create a Debian submenu/category. This would allow people who only want the debian menu to choose debian-menu.menu as their main menu file, and people who want a desktop environment menu with the debian menu in it to automatically have it merged, thanks to the applications-merged directory. If you have menu-xdg already installed, you can simulate that by editing your default menu file (e.g. copy /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu to ~/.config/menus/), and adding to it: <Menu> <Name>Debian</Name> <MergeFile>/etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu</MergeFile> </Menu> And then all the debian menu will appear in a dedicated category. But I don't really think this should be enabled/shipped by default, because the debian menu and the xdg one are totally redundant.
