Subject: Fails to update and create menu entries

Package: menu
Version: 2.1.15
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

Hi,
I have menu entries described in the /etc/menu. These works fine from 2
years. But recently, when I update my debs menus, the update-menus tool
don t recognize any of them.
The error message:

/etc/menu/jalbum-4.4: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token
`xserver-xfree86'
/etc/menu/jalbum-4.4: line 1:
`?package(xserver-xfree86):command=3D"/usr/local/bin/JAlbum" needs=3D"X1=
1"
\'
L'ex=E9cution de /etc/menu/jalbum-4.4 n'a cr=E9=E9 aucune donn=E9e en sor=
tie ni
retourn=E9 aucune erreur.

My file:
?package(xserver-xfree86):command=3D"/usr/local/bin/JAlbum" needs=3D"X11=
" \
                        section=3D"Apps/Tools" title=3D"Jalbum 4.4" \
                     hints=3D"JALBUM Photo Generator" \
        icon=3D/usr/local/java/bin/jalbum-4.4/help/images/smallicon.gif

Thanks for helping
