Proper menu integration of universe packages

[Christoph Haas]

Salute...

As I'm quite new to Ubuntu the question may sound funny. But what effort
is done to integrate applications into the "Applications" menu? Is there
a special team that rebuilds packages with proper
/usr/share/applications/*.desktop files? As the packages' file name
contain 'ubuntu' they are probably recompiled anyway. If so what happens
to the desktop files? Are they customised? Do they get sent to the
respective Debian package maintainer?

The worst thing in Debian IMHO is the 'Debian' submenu where all
packages are cluttered. Not everybody maintainer seems to maintain
proper desktop files (probably because the .menu entry is still in the
dh-make template and the .desktop documentation is confusiong) to place
menu entries in the right locations. Is already work in process to
integrate (universe) packages with proper desktop menus? Do they need
help? :)
