Yes. One approach that may (or may not) meet your needs is a
Debian-specific category like "X-Debian-Jr" or "X-Debian-Med"; these
menu entries could be presented in a separate menu tree or be the
*only* entries presented to certain users (based on their
preferences).
Now, implementing this is probably nontrivial, but I hope the code
will be flexible enough to do this.
