This is a known problem and I asked the same question a couple of days ago :o)
so your not alone. Here are the steps to fix it.
1) Grab "kdelibs-data_3.3.2-6.1_all.deb" or silimar 3.3 version from a mirror
(look under pool) or your apt-cache (/var/cache/apt/archives IIRC).
2) Install with
dpkg -i kdelibs-data_3.3.2-6.1_all.deb
3) Log out and back in (you may need to restart (k|g)dm but I didn't).
4) Enjoy menus again.
Put the lib in hold or be careful when upgrading. If you join the debian-kde
mailing list they have promised to post a message when kde 3.4 is ready.
The bug report is http://bugs.debian.org/323747 if you are interested.
