Oh, I didn't know this.
In this case, I think you should keep the menu package in the binary package and not move it to the data package. (Honestly, I would do the same thing with the man pages as well.) There really isn't a need to move everything into /usr/share, only the large data. Man pages and menu files are small and don't waste much space in the binary package, and I would just leave them there.
This is what I did, i.e. I put parts of /usr/share in the foo-data package and other parts like /usr/share/{applications,pixmaps,man} in the foo package to get rid of lintian warning. However, this is what I initially wanted to avoid, i.e. mix up arch-indep stuff between arch:any and arch:all packages.
Otherwise, you can add an override here as well.
This is what I wanted to avoid, too.
I understand your concern, but it's unlikely that Lintian is going to change in any significant way in this area.
Alright, but it feels good having talked about it. ;) I'll leave the bug report open, though.
