Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ufw

I'm in the middle of an Ubuntu deployment preparation and I'm writing a
bunch of UFW app lists (50?) for many games and applications in the
repos, closed-source commercial Linux games (LGP, Loki, id), games on
Wine, etc.  I'm using UFW-Frontends (ufw-gtk) which has a drop-down list
for selecting them.  With this many app lists it gets ugly and tedious
to sort through unless you're using a wide-screen monitor in a portrait
orientation.

My idea for making this practical is to add categories to the file so that a 
dialog can present them in a filtered way.  Instead of creating a new standard 
I recommend using the freedesktop.org menu categories as they are already 
defined for anything in the repos with a menu entry:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html

I've tested a few app lists with categories with UFW and UFW-Frontends
on Lucid and it doesn't seem to affect them.  It appears they ignore the
added keywords so I'm going to assign them in mine.

** Affects: ufw (Ubuntu)
