My understanding is that they felt that many of the things in the Debian menu are inappropriate and shouldn't be in a menu for a graphical desktop.

I'm not sure it's that hopeless, and I'm having a bad evening, so I'm being more pessimistic than I should be. I was more trying to say that this isn't really something I think Lintian can do in isolation and it probably requires a debian-devel thread and some additional discussion to work out a consensus on where to go. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
