Oh no.
Aside from reasons already stated, not all programs are listed under
Gnome menu. Gnome menu is a nice addition but it is not yet substitute
of Debian menu.
Current set up is a good practical compromie.
If you hate Debian menu for any reason, you can erase it by putting
empty contents file in somewhere like /etc/menu with the program name as
the file name. I do not care to do so though.
