Hi,

You can change the desktop files in /usr/share/applications or add some
user desktop in ~/.local/share/applications. The Categories= line is
used to determine the place of the entry in the menu, the desktop
files/menu follow the freedesktop specifications.

applications:// was using the vfolder gnomevfs method which has been
dropped in GNOME 2.9 for the new gnome-menus system. A menu editor need
to be written but that will probably not happen for 2.10. There is
nothing specific to the distribution here.
You can also install menu and menu-xdg to get a Debian submenu with
entries for all the applications installed.
