Bug#894357: firefox: no Debian Menu System entry

[boffi]

Package: firefox
Version: 59.0.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?
I clicked on the root menu of TWM and tried to find an entry to launch
Firefox in "Debian/Applications/Network/Web Browsing"

* What was the outcome of this action?
I couldn't see a menu entry to launch Firefox.

* What outcome did you expect instead?
A menu entry to click and launch Firefox.

Chapter 4 - What packages with applications should do

4.1 Providing a menu file
A package should provide a menu file /usr/share/menu/<package-name>
that contains information about each program it likes to make available
in the menus.

4.2 Adding a hook for dpkg in your packages
The postinst script and the postrm script of the package should include
the line

      if test -x /usr/bin/update-menus; then update-menus; fi

If you are using debhelper, the program dh_installmenu can do it for you.
