pkg-not-in-package-test
The given menu item does not check if the package that
ships the application is installed.
Each menu item should begin with a check that the required packages
are installed. At a minimum, the condition should check that the package that
ships the application is installed.
Menu items are normally shiiped in the same package that also provides the
application the menu item is for.
Sometimes this issue arises the package name was mespelled in the menu
entry, or an entry was copied from another package but not properly adjusted.
