Do you mean a "submenu" is silly?  Or what do you mean with a menu in the menu???

If we would end with a system this allows each package to register in the
Gnome system.  The interface in Debian is the menu package which cares for
any UI and I see no reason why Gnome should be an exception here.  And
please keep in mind that a multi user environment might contain different
types of users (user roles).  This is a requirement for Custom Debian
Distributions
