Is this a Debian-specific thing, or a Deblet thing? That is, will any Debian fs have this folder?

So, what is the command for running this program? Specifically, for adding <application-X> to <menu-Y> (creating menu-Y if required)?

I wish the Maemo menu had nested menus. Then we could just dump everything into a "Deblet" menu tree. As it is, the Deblet menu will be huge... (I don't think it should just drop them into "Extras", but into "Deblet")

That is a very cool goal. I'm on board!
