Bug#628073: wordnet: menu entry runs "wn" which just exits with usage message

Package: wordnet
Version: 1:3.0-24
Severity: normal

If I click the "WordNet" menu entry I see a terminal emulator that
disappears quickly.

$ cat /usr/share/menu/wordnet 
?package(wordnet):needs="text" section="Applications/Text"\
  title="WordNet" command="/usr/bin/wn"

seems to run "wn" which just prints usage message nowadays.

If "wn" does not offer an interactive usage mode anymore could the
menu entry be removed?

The wordnet-gui package already has a menu entry for "wnb" which
works.
