It's easy with Debian's menu system. See /etc/menu/README.
Example:
?package(local.mozilla):\
needs="x11"\
section="Apps/Net/Mozilla"\
title="Mozilla 0.9"\
command="/usr/local/bin/mozilla"\
icon="/usr/local/mozilla/icons/mozicon16.xpm"
The "local" tells update-menus that it's a "local" package of all things!
Then run "update-menus"...
