In System->preferences->main menu (aka alacarte) Debian had a check and all of the submenus were checked also even though not all of them showed up. There is no help or man page that has any information for alacarte. I tried "revert" to reset everything. When I did that, Debian is not checked and does not show up in the Applications menu. I then clicked on Debian in alacarte. After that, the Debian menu shows up and all of the Debian submenus show up. Somehow alacarte was in a weird state and reverting it and then selecting Debian again straightened it out. It looks like this bug is really an alacarte bug.
