Many GNOME (sadly) users demand the Debian menu be present, which is
fair enough.  I'd really like to know that if GNOME 2.8 didn't have the
distribution menu, it totally supported the new menu specification so
that Debian can point at the files created by menu-xdg (which use the
menu spec at
http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/menu-0.8.dtd).
