The install-menus command has a --remove option that I will be taking
advantage of, to decouple the packaged menu-methods from its cleanup.  A
change to add other menu files would be consistently removed without any
need to know about postrm responsibilities

When in response to a 'purge,' the menu-methods file has already been
removed during postrm.  While I could place this in prerm, the existing
debhelper mechanisms for cleanup are placed into postrm, so I figured to be
consistent...  Since the script is always auto generated, the net effect
would be that while /etc/menu-methods/rxvt remains after a remove, the
effective menu in /etc/X11/rxvt.menu is removed.  If menu guys disagree,
I'll move this to prerm on purge.
