Package: lintian
While the packaging manual section 3.7 suggests that Debian menu requires an
xpm format icon, that is not actually true. In all cases I've tried, a png
is just fine too. Several packages now deliver png icons that work fine with
both desktop and menu files.
Currently, lintian emits the error:
E: openrocket: menu-icon-not-in-xpm-format
when it finds a non-xpm icon file. This seems inappropriate given that png
files actually seem to work fine.
Please consider downgrading this to a warning, or updating the set of file
types to include png.
Obviously, the packaging manual should also be updated, but I'm not sure
offhand where responsibility for that lies.
