I do not understand why. Menu documentation mentions a requirement to call update-menus in postinst and postrm, and dh_installmenu provides an easy way to satisfy this requirement. There is no conflict. furthermore, merely calling dh_installmenu and dh_installdeb is not always sufficient to satisfy this requirement: if debian/postinst exist, then it must include #DEBHELPER# somewhere, else dh_installdeb will not add the call to update-menus.
