IF "menu" is removed, you will have an non-usable X-Window-System.
At least here, because there are more then 20 programs including my
Window-Manager which depend on it.
And removing autogenerated menu.hook files would lead to the hell of
errors for some WindowManagers, which mean, removing is NO solution.
THE IMPORTANT QUESTION IS:
How do you have removed "menu" without removing the half workstation?
Some programs which depend on menu:
----[ comman 'apt-cache rdepends menu |tr -d ' ' |sort' ]---------------
apt-file
cdd-common
debconf
doc-linux-html
doc-linux-nonfree-html
fvwm
keytouch-editor
linpopup
openoffice.org
pdmenu
startupmanager
synaptic
tdfvwm-menu-common
w3m
w3mmee
wmanager
xmahjongg
xvt

Better you tell the maintainer of "smb4k", that it should depend on
"menu" :-D, because otherwise menu.hook files are not updated accordenly

"menu-xdg" are scripts which convert ".desktop" files to menu files
