I tried removing /var/lib/kde, then running update-menu, and update-menu was
recreating the directory tree. If it does not do that for you, it sounds like
something is wrong with update-menu, or maybe with the
/etc/menumethods/kicker script.

It has happened to me too that config files disappear "by themselves", and I
am 100% sure I didn't do it. Due to a "feature" of debian, if a config file
disappears, reinstallation or upgrading a package does not put it back.
Purging and reinstallation does, though, as does dpkg --force-confmiss. Maybe
that's what have happened to you? Check that /etc/menu-methods/kicker is
there. There should also be a menu.conf and menu.h in that directory.
