	As I understand the mechanism:

	Installing a package with menu entry data
	   - adds menu entry data to a master list
	   - for each package that has expressed an interest in menu entry data,
	     run a script which updates that packages default config file, or
	     file that that package's default config includes. In the event
	     that a package cannot include a generated config file it may make
	     sense to make its default config a symlink to the generated file.

	Installing a package which cares about menu entry data
	   - Register its script, then run it
