In the first instance the maintainer may choose to do so; if they don't, then it falls to those contributors who care about the menu. > In the case of missing manual pages, the policy (§ 12.1) does not require the > package maintainer to write one. 12.1 says: | Each program, utility, and function should have an associated manual | page included in the same package. Policy does not in general say who should do any particular piece of work. > Therefore, I think that the “should” of §9.6, paragraph 2 should be relaxed. I think we should use similar wording about trad menu entries to that we use about manpages. That means using "should" just as we do about manpages.
