Is it possible to create a shortcut in the startmenu after installing?
Trying with dotnet deb and I want to make it easy to execute the application after installing.
Right now I have to go to the installation directory and execute it manually.

You'll probably need to place a file in either /usr/share/menu (see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man5/menufile.5.html) or /usr/share/applications (see https://developer.gnome.org/integration-guide/stable/desktop-files.html.en).

If that's the case, you can use the LinuxFile construct to include this file in the deb created with dotnet rpm.

A good way to start would be to first try & manually create such a menu entry file, and see if it works for your application. If it does, let's try to integrate that with dotnet deb.
