Thanks again. I get it now... almost

A questions remains...
Let's take Ardour for example. If I install Ardour in for example Debian, it
will be placed in a certain position in the menu.

Let's say I want to build a distro with a new submenu. I make a repo for it and I want that Ardour will be placed in the new submenu when people who are
using my distro, install it.

What should I edit when I make a debian package of Ardour (or any other app)? How do I make sure Ardour is placed in my 'third party' submenu when
it is installed by people?

Getting out of the realms of what I can say for sure myself, now... if nobody else here can help, you might have better luck over on xdg freedesktop org , where the menu file specifications are devised and discussed.
