The default menu parsed by xdg.Menu.parse
(/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu) is not provided by any Debian
package. Some applications, such as xmenud, rely on python-xdg's
default when trying to parse menus. I recommend changing the default
menu parsed to /etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu (this would require
adding menu-xdg as a Depends), or to some other existing menu file.
Best wishes,
Ryan

import xdg.Menu
xdg.Menu.parse()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/xdg/Menu.py", line 506, in parse
raise ParsingError('File not found', "/etc/xdg/menus/%s" % candidate)
xdg.Exceptions.ParsingError: ParsingError in file
'/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu', File not found
This is the expected behavior. python-xdg is supposed to implement
Desktop Menu Specification, which obviously doesn't say anything about
debian-menu.
Even assuming that falling backing to parsing Debian menu has merits, I
still don't see any reason for adding menu-xdg to Depends.
