I will hazard the guess that this file was added to one of the first menu
package release circa 1997.

However, the Debian menu subpolicy list a dedicated menu section for
shells (Apps/Shells) and it is more consistent to have all shells listed
there.  (why providing a shell if it is not supposed to be used ?)
