This is done on purpose. This allow desktop envirnonment to use separate
icons for debian menu entries and other entries. Changing the names
would break GNOME and KDE3.

Furthermore there is no one-to-one mapping between debian sections and
other sections, so the proposal is not feasible.

We use debian-* specifically to avoid a name clash with this
specification.
