OK. It works here. I have this:


    dima@shorty:~/.notion$ ls -l /usr/share/notion/debian-menu*

    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Jul 14  2016 /usr/share/notion/debian-menu-i18n.lua -> /var/lib/notion/debian-menu-i18n.lua

    dima@shorty:~/.notion$ ls -l /var/lib/notion

    dima@shorty:~/.notion$ head /var/lib/notion/debian-menu.lua

    defmenu("Debian/Applications/Accessibility", {
        menuentry("xbindkeys", "ioncore.exec('/usr/bin/xbindkeys')"),
        menuentry("Xmag", "ioncore.exec('xmag')"),
        menuentry("Xzoom", "ioncore.exec('xzoom')"),
    })

    defmenu("Debian/Applications/Data Management", {


The menu-updater presumably creates the files in /var/lib, and the links
maybe are supposed to exist always. What are you missing?
