Bug#129131: (no subject)
Hello,
It looks like this issue still hasn't been resolved. Since I had a spare
moment this week, I took a stab at writing the requested "kderemove" entry
for the Debian menu system documentation (included at the end of this
message). Hopefully it will be of use, and ultimately will lead to
lintian's acceptance of the "kderemove" tag. A more complete rationale for
this tag can be found in /usr/share/doc/kdelibs4-dev/Packaging.txt.gz.
Cheers,
Christopher Martin

Debian Menu System Documentation, Section 7.2.1
kderemove:
All KDE applications should include this tag, using kderemove="y" to avoid
a duplicate entry in the KDE menu, when KDE is used in conjunction with
the Debian menu system. Without this tag, KDE's own menu will contain an
entry for the application in its Debian menu system subfolders, in
addition to the KDE menu system's own "native" entry. Such duplication is
inelegant and can cause technical problems.
