I tested your translation method and it works well on my systems
(gusty), thanks.

It would be nice to have something like this enabled by default in the
menu package to allow for easy transition. We cannot hope having all
packages conforming to the same menu structure any time soon.

Although I prefer the new menu structure and I support your translation
which is looking forward, it is a bit confusing. Package maintainers
referring to current debian policy (3.7.2.2, /usr/share/doc/debian-
policy/menu-policy.txt.gz) will continue to use the old structure while
seeing their package appearing at other places in the menu. This can be
confusing. It is not critical as the menu will remain coherent (thanks
to translations), but it could slow down adoption of the new menu
structure.

Possible solutions are :
- upgrade to a newer debian policy including the new structure (if it exists)
- add a special notice for menu transition in /usr/share/doc/debian-policy
- rewrite the translations the other way round (e.g. from "Applications" to 
"Apps"). Users of the new
  structure are more likely to be aware of the translation for transition 
purpose. This one would solve
  the confusion problem, but would not help the transition to the new menu 
structure, so I 
  personnaly prefer Cesare's solution.
