Hello,

I am working on improving Debian Menu policy and thought that you may be 
interested.

Below is my current draft on Debian Games menu, but I am not really 
satisfied with it. My main goal was to decrease the number of entries in 
overused Arcade section by introducing new sections, but I am not sure I 
did this in the best possible way. Another problem is that the draft is 
based on current contents of Debian software repository, so it may not 
satisfy the future needs.

Any comments are welcome.

Regards,
Linas
