If this directory exists, menu entries for the single meta packages can
be provided here.  The files should have the same name as the files in the
tasks directory and ideally each single task should have its own menu.

See for instance Debian-Med packages.

In general a meta package should provide a menu for every dependent package.
This menu entry should either point to a package executable (perhaps with
some special hints assigned) or to a pager call which proveides some extra
information how the special package can be used.  For instance this can be
done via text files /usr/share/doc/_CDD_task1/deppkg1.txt (see Debian-Med).

The idea is to provide a special _CDD_ menu with the relevant parts for
the users of the _CDD_.

At install time the existing dependencies are checked for their
menu entries.  These are tekan over into the user menu.  If the
meta package maintainer wants to override this entry he is able
to provide menu/<task>/<dep>.menu files.  If there is no reasonable
menu entry for a package extra documentation can be provided which
can be viewed via menu entries.  This can either be given as plain
text files menu/<task>/<dep>.txt or HTML files menu/<task>/<dep>.html.
The created menu entry calls sensible-pager or sensible-browser,
respectively.
