I am considering starting a discussion within the KDE team to stop

It becomes more and more useless - and it is also very ugly, as the menu
itself specifies icons that are nonexistant in all icon themes.

This discussion comes up once or twice per year.  In most cases it is
triggered by users of freedesktop.org based environments.  They fail to
see the fact that there are other environments which do not support
freedesktop.org standards and in this case Debian menu makes
perfectly sense.

Right, but that's a good reason to do what Sune is considering: removing Debian Menu support in KDE, Gnome, etc.
I don't think removing Debian menu is a good idea, as many people are still using it, but when you're using a freedesktop.org environment, this menu is really ugly, useless and duplicating entries. So, I think this menu should disappear for these desktops users, and  stay for the rest of the users (obviously, keeping the packaging policies that are associated with it).
