If your interest is integration with the Debian infrastructure - and 
particularly you want to improve the Debian menu system (rather than 
attaching an extension to it as one separately-maintained package), 
then...

   * Rewrite the list to be expressed like the Debian menu list
   * Rephrase intro and outro to talk about that

That rewriting should be easy, as I already did that in an earlier email 
in this very thread.
