Indeed, that's the plan. Is there an RPC/JSON API? If not, I've already worked out how to do the screen scraping; but something more robust is desirable.

Just installed it, looks great. Will manual edits to /opt/catorise/menu to change the categories of some apps be overwritten in future updates, or is there a more preferred way to do this?

/opt/catorise/menu can be edited to shuffle things around and they won't get overwritten (unless you put them in other or an invalid section).
Once edited, you can run - as root - /opt/catorise/catorise to regenerate.

It's supposed to be done on application install/uninstall using dpkg triggers and, indeed, it works for me. If you install something using apt-get, as root, in X Terminal does it show a line of the form:
Code:
Catorise: Updating menu structure...
