Having read Peter Clifton's e-mail and your response, I endorse Peter
Clifton's suggestion that:

- Debian Edu should add Electronics to one of its custom menus
- KiCAD should have xdg-extra-menus moved to "recommended"

as the best compromise to resolve the issue for Debian Edu for the time
being.
