Does look like it, yes:)
Could you, when you see one of those 1-item submenus, 

cp /usr/share/doc/menu/examples/cat /etc/menu-methods/
update-menus
tar -cvzf - /tmp/menu-stdin /etc/menu-methods/*|uuencode m.tar.gz m.tar.gz|mail -s menu-1-item-submenu [email protected]

(or something simmilar)

Thanks,
joostje
