Sorry, I meant the package FS. My main point in the above paragraph is
that even if the Deskbar is ignoring the
/boot/{system/common}/data/deskbar/menu (which is "managed" by the
package FS), the user could copy those symlinks to the
~/config/settings/deskbar/menu directory as a base for the manually
managed Deskbar menu.

That's not what I was saying, and I agree.
