Bug#443509: menu policy checks may be ahead of their time

 Package: lintian
 Version: 1.23.34
 Severity: normal

 The menu policy checks such as menu-item-uses-apps-section tell me to
 check Debian Menu sub-policy 2.1.  But the web site and the current
 debian-policy package still contain what is presumably considered the
 old version of the menu policy, which contains an Apps section.  There
 is no information in the obvious places that tells what this new menu
 policy is supposed to be or what authority it carries.

The problem here, unfortunately, is Policy.  The new menu policy is
available in the menu package and is already being implemented, but Policy
is lagging way behind reality (and not just in this area).

Need more hands

Our documentation is therefore in wretched condition, but I believe that
lintian is still correct so far as that goes, and I don't want to hold up
the menu transition just because Policy isn't cutting it.
