First, most distributions will probably want to retain the single menu structure, as they like to have the same menu for different desktop environments. Debian has chosen the opposite path: we provide a different user experience with each desktop environment, and that includes the menus.
Debian has chosen well. Different desktop environments follow different philosophies. Gnome advocates the one app for one task philosophy for which a simplified menu structure is optimal. KDE advocates freedom of choice for which an elaborate menu structure is required. KDE's submenus would be overpopulated with a Gnome-like menu structure and the submenus of Gnome's Applications menu would be underpopulated with a KDE-like menu structure.
