For the front page that is probably true, but personally I find a left menu distracting also after navigating to another page (the one that I actually _do_ want to read ;-) In the case of Debian's current layout it is not so bad because of the full color background for the navigation menu, so the main text is clearly separated. But in the proposed versions the distinction between menu and main text area is a lot weaker.
