As far as I can tell /etc/menu, /usr/lib/menu, and /usr/share/menu will go away once we start using the desktop entry spec and /usr/share/applications directory. Anything natively supporting the desktop spec won't have any reason to use /etc/menu-method at all (afaik). The desktop menu spec will probably need an addition of $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/applications/ to replace debian's /etc/menu that is a global admin menu entry directory.

Please note that I am not subscribed to xdg-list.
