Why can this not be an on-disk cache or something instead of requiring the
user to care to regenerate the menus?

The purpose of Regenerate Menus is to get a new menu after you've
installed a new package.   A cache would only make the problem worse.

Actually, no.  Effectively this is what Debian does with its menuing system
and it works just fine.  I see no reason why we need an explicit
regeneration of these menus.

But that means we have to create a "daemon" who checks all the distributions special ways. Will be a big challenge ... Or do you mean only a few ones like Debian, Fedora, SuSE, Slackware, BSD, Gentoo, Solaris ... It's the same as to find out which is the main desktop on the system. And the maintenance also. Every time checking if a distri
has changed their way here ...
