I discovered this issue with Debian Edu.  The KDE menu in Debian Edu
based on Squeeze have very many main categories on the top level, and
it would be better if the HamRadio and Electronics menus were removed
and the menu entries currently located there are moved to other
fitting locations.

The problem is that it is not possible to remove the extra-xdg-menus
package without also removing kicad, and since recommends are
installed automatically by Debian Installer in Squeeze, having
extra-xdg-menus as a recommended package will still pull it in by
default.

Because of this, I hope you can move extra-xdg-menus from depends to
suggests, and add Education and Science as categories in the desktop
file.

Those with extra-xdg-menus will still find the package in the
Electronics menu, while those without it will find it elsewhere in the
menu. :)
