I wasn't thinking about the menu app from debian (I don't have any 
knowledge about it). I meant to have it as a portage feature. I 
mentioned the /var/db/pkg/<categoy>/<package>/ dir because portage 
already stores some info about the installed packages there...

Yeah, disk space is not an issue, but I don't think that a script to 
look for menu files under /var/db/pkg/*/*/menus/ and copy them somewhere 
else classifies as 'overkill'. ;)
