I think it's probably best then for us to create the submenus as we feel 
we need them, accepting the Debian policy non-compliance, while at the 
same time requesting the submenu structure we're using be added.  We 
should agree between DebianEdu and SEUL/edu on what that submenu 
structure should be, of course.

That would be good, if so.  But I don't have any idea.
