While the package manager will install an application, it could ask for 
the wanted menu entry. When I made reports because of problems with 
freedesktop standards, when using e17 and GNOME, I got a reply that 
people should use e17 only and not e17 and GNOME. If I don't want to 
have conflicts because of freedesktop standards when using e17 and 
GNOME, I should pay somebody to solve this.

So again, my good idea is that all desktops have their own files, thus a 
user will be able to customize the menus, desktop etc. without having 
trouble.
