Hi, actually, you're supposed to use dh_installmenu (or cdbs) in your rules file, and not add yourself the update-menu commands into the postinst/rm files.
I _guess_ that the menu file isn't installed at all and that something else takes care of adding the menu point into the Gnome menu. What I don't understand is why you expect the label to be "lkmonitor version 0.3 alpha" where the menu file contains "Linux Kernel Monitor"!?
