Section 3.3 of /usr/share/doc/menu/menu.txt.gz says "It must be short". So I would take it as an indication that this sort of long title isn't encouraged. There's also a optional longtitle field, which I've now included as "Iceweasel Web Browser". > - do you think that it is better that the entry of Iceweasel in the > Debian menu is made with one word only ?
