Package: vlc
Version: 1.0.4-2
Severity: normal

Hello Debian multimedia packages maintainers,

The file /usr/share/menu/vlc reads
?package(vlc):command="/usr/bin/qvlc" hotkey="V" needs="X11" \
              section="Applications/Viewers" title="VLC media player" \
              icon="/usr/share/vlc/vlc.xpm" hints="Video"

The new Debian menu subpolicy [1] states that Viewers is for non video players.
Video players should be in "Applications/Video" instead

Cheers,
