Can you be more specific about this "gets confused" part?
The reason I ask is that I think it's important that the Debian menus
be consistent. When you switch from wm to wm, (or use other menuing
systems -- I have an emacs menu-method in the works) you should still
find the same apps in the same place (at least, relative to the base
of the Debian hierarchy).
Personally, I think that the approach taken by KDE at the moment
constitutes a particularly ugly bug. A nicely overengineered bug, but
a bug nonetheless.
However if there are technical reasons why it has to be done that way,
then I suppose there's little we can do.

I'd prefer it to go into a separate KDE policy (if it goes anywhere).
There is ample precedence for such things (perl, emacs, etc.).
