Lintian probably checks for the existence of a /usr/bin/$command where
command is everything between the double quotes.
Lintian has, in ./check/menu-format:319:
my @com=split(' ',$vals{'command'});
So, it assumes that you should provide (in this case)
"/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator". (Not, as I'd guessed, that it doesn't
have a split(' ').
I think a wrapper script is appropriate if the user would otherwise
have to type "x-terminal-emulator", but I dislike the idea of
"echo |yadex". I don't think it'll do what the user wants. Instead,
install what is presently /usr/games/yadex to /usr/lib/yadex/... and
install a one-line wrapper script to /usr/games/yadex:
#!/bin/sh -e
exec x-terminal-emulator -e /usr/lib/yadex/...
