           Summary: After installing packages from 'universe' there is no
                    way to start them
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: branding
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: gnome-panel
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com

If a users install packages from 'universe' or 'multiverse' it is still expected
that he'll be able to find links to this software in the main graphical menu.
This can be solved by reenabling the 'Debian' menu item in 'Applications' when
synaptic or update-manager detect that a third parti source is added to
sources.list (that is any source except Ubuntu main, security and updates, but
including 'universe' and 'multiverse' sections of these).
This will most propably require installation of gnome-panel package without the
patch to remove the Debian menu. One can make gnome-panel a virtual package that
depends on "gnome-panel-ubuntu (=2.8.3-2ubuntu3) | gnome-panel-debian
(=2.8.3-2)". And then on the next update or package installation after the
universe/multiverse is added to the sources.list, gnome-panel-debian will have
to be installed additionally.
