Comment (by hamish):

 for automation of this see "`man update-menus`" and /usr/share/menu/.
 It self-organizes by section= tag.

 sample entry:
 {{{
 ?package(gpsdrive):needs="x11"\
   section="Applications/Science/Geoscience"\
   longtitle="GpsDrive: A car (bike, ship, plane, foot) navigation system"\
   title="GpsDrive" command="gpsdrive"\
   icon="/usr/share/gpsdrive/pixmaps/gpsicon.xpm"
 }}}


 sample entry with appearing in two different menu sections:
 {{{
 ?package(xterm):\
  needs="x11"\
  section="Applications/Terminal Emulators"\
  longtitle="XTerm: terminal emulator for X"\
  title="XTerm"\
  icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/xterm-color_32x32.xpm"\
  command="xterm"
 ?package(xterm):\
  needs="x11"\
  section="Applications/Terminal Emulators"\
  longtitle="XTerm: terminal emulator for X with Unicode support"\
  title="XTerm (Unicode)"\
  icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/xterm-color_32x32.xpm"\
  command="uxterm"
 }}}
