<hr>

<h2><a name="s4.1"></a>4.1 Providing a menu file</h2>

<p>
A package should provide a menu file
<code>/usr/share/menu/&lt;package-name&gt;</code> that contains information
about each program it likes to make available in the menus.
</p>

<hr>

<h2><a name="s4.2"></a>4.2 Adding a hook for dpkg in your packages</h2>

<p>
The <samp>postinst</samp> script and the <code>postrm</code> script of the
package should include the line
</p>

<pre>
      if test -x /usr/bin/update-menus; then update-menus; fi
</pre>

<p>
If you are using <code>debhelper</code>, the program
<code>dh_installmenu</code> can do it for you.
</p>
