Subject: /usr/lib/menu vs .desktop files - possible mass bug filling

Hello,
I would like to know your opinion about creating menu from Debian packages.
Debian Policy. section 9.6 says that, under some conditions (not significant
in this case), package should register a menu entry for its applications,
for users of the menu and pdmenu packages.
I've found[1] 48 packages[3] which have ${packagename}.desktop in
/usr/share/gnome/apps subdirectories without menu file in /usr/lib/menu.
So, my question are:
Does update-menu support .desktop file?
Do window managers in Debian support .desktop file?
Are there any plans to change Debian Policy and use .desktop files?
And, if answers to all above questions are negative:
Should I review[2] those packages and file RC bug agains them?
Cheers
Artur
