This needs to fixed on a entry by entry basis, the issue is likely that some entries use incorrect Categories, and as you noted on Gnome Terminal it uses the Name[] entry incorrectly and should have used "Terminal" only in GenericName[] entry. This is not something specific to KDE anymore and is part of the new freedesktop.org menu standard. Gnome will likely be similiarly affected once it adopts the rest of the freedesktop.org standard. BTW the only entries that are shown outside of the Debian submenu are ones that claim to properly support the freedesktop.org standards by installing .desktop files into its directory /usr/share/applications.
