Bug Description

Binary package hint: weechat

Weechat does not show up in the menu anywhere and the command "weechat" does not launch it. This is something that users should be able to just click and run or by command line using "weechat" command. I'm fairly sure people do not want to look for a way to launch it in documents.

The /debian/weechat-curses.menu looks like it should work when compared to Arora's *.menu file.
When you run the command "weechat-curses" it says something like adding menu or whatever it was. I have not found a way to leave weechat and keep the text that shows when you run it.

Here is the weechat menu file:

?package(weechat-curses):needs="text" section="Applications/Network/Communication" \
  title="weechat-curses" \
  icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/weechat.xpm" \
  command="/usr/bin/weechat-curses"

By the file it looks like it should have one. Links2 has a menu entry however irssi does not. I havent looked at the menu file in irssi.

The line that i feel is causing it to not show up in menu would be the following:

section="Applications/Network/Communication" \

Since there is no menu entry for "Communication" and it seems to be looking for that menu entry under "Internet" menu.

assuming since no one commented on bug that this is a no go.
