I think that's exactly what's going on here: debian-menu.lua was part of
the Debian package, but not part of Notion.

It seems the debian-menu lua package is automatically generated by some
script from the debian packaging (
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/notion.git/tree/debian/notion.menu-method
).

I think it'd make sense to have something in notion (perhaps contrib)
itself instead of relying on the packaging, but then perhaps we should go
directly for the freedesktop approach and skip the Debian menu system?
