Package: iraf
Version: 2.17-3
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

After installing the IRAF package I see a new menu "Other" under the 
applications menu in XFCE4 which only contains IRAF.

I guess that this happens because /usr/share/applications/iraf.desktop 
contains

Categories=Science;Astronomy;Application;

Other programs like Stellarium or saods9 have "Education" as one of the 
entries and end up in the "Education" menu, i.e.

    Categories=Education;Science;Astronomy;
or

    Categories=Astronomy;Education;Science;
