- <item>The requirements for the <em>FreeDesktop menu entries</em> are now
- documented, in particular regarding the icon size and format, when to display
- the entry, and where to coordinate the integration of the entries in menus of
- specific desktop systems. The Debian menu is optionally supported.
+<tag>9.1</tag>
+ <item> The FHS is relaxed to allow a subdirectory of <file>/usr/lib</file>

+ should be located in <file>/usr/share</file>.
</item>
-<tag>9.7</tag>
- <item>Packages already shipping <em>FreeDesktop menu entries</em> should use
- them to associate applications with media types. Only in the absence of
- desktop entries, a file in <em>mailcap</em> format should be used.
- Associations between media types and files should be done via upstream
- databases, nevertheless it is also possible to register these associations
- directly in Debian if needed.
