I'm looking for simple config items, along the lines of...

Choose a menu style for the KDE desktop:
[ ] system default	whatever the Debian-KDE developers have setup
[ ] KDE only		ignores the Debian generated menu
[ ] Debian only		ignores the default KDE menu
[ ] custom		the sysadmin or user is on their own

Editing the xml based applications.menu will not be so straight 
forward, especially when it comes time to merge sysadmin tweaks in 
with changes to the system default.
