ldconfig is not needed for us as mozilla start scripts set their own
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

menu file should be placed in debian directory and invoke
dh_installmenu in rules ... look for debian/thunderbird.menu for the
syntax.

In addition, please add the .desktop file for gnome menu
integration.

Maybe consider to look at old mozilla package for all this menu stuff
or thunderbird or firefox.

At the end you should have menu entries in the debian->... menu as
well as in gnome menu.

I can't tell ... I don't think final 1.8.1 branch versions will be out
in time for the freeze ... so probably we should go the safe way and
use the 1.8.0 branch versions (aka 1.0.5 for your case).
