Attached patches fix this.  The changes are as follows:

  - Migrate to the new menu structure (per menu-2.1.36 package)
  - Add warning second-level-section-bad for cases when the second level
    section _must_ have a leaf section associated with it
  - Add warning unknown-menu-leafsection for cases when the leaf (third)
    section is unknown
  - Correct msgid "top-level-section-bad_s" for grammar in en.po
  - Correctly list the exceptions for top level section in en.po
  - Add test cases for new warnings.
    - Extract the tests/binary_menu.tar.gz file and apply the second
      patch and re-pack into new tests/binary_menu.tar.gz for test cases
      to work

Subject: linda has been removed from Debian, closing #434989

Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2008 23:53:37 +0100

Version: 0.3.26+rm

The linda package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/469039 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
