The debian menu hierarchy has just been revised, and a new menu policy has been active since a few weeks. Why not wait that out, and see whether that improves things? Personally, I think it will improve matters by much. In any case, I don't think just dropping debian/menu is the best thing to do. Perhaps make it an option, but IMO one of the main strengths about Debian as a whole is precisely this unified menu system. If there's an opinion floating around that the fdo menu hierarchy is much better, then that may be a good argument to improve the Debian menu system, but not necessarily one to drop it entirely.
