Each package has a wm-neutral menu file descrbing where the package should fit in to the system, and there are system wide scripts to add those entries into each wm's menuing system. coupled with global menu USE flag this could work well as most of the work has been done by the debian and mandrake package maintainers. IIRC mime-types are handled too.
