Details

Zenmap, the GUI for nmap, which is installed alongside it, needs pygtk to run.
pygtk is currently an optional dependency of the package, but if I only install nmap, and not pygtk afterwards, zenmap is installed and added to my KDE menu anyway (and does, of course, not work).

A good solution would probably be to factor zenmap out in its own package...
This task depends upon

A simple solution is to add TryExec=/usr/bin/pygtk-demo to the .desktop file for Zenmap. When pygtk isn't installed, a standards compliant menu application shouldn't display the entry.

We don't split packages.
