There was an discussion [1] on ubuntu-desktop list. The summary is that upstream (GNOME devs) is afraid that that packages will pollute the menu by too many items. If this happens distributions can fix those packages though [2][3]. There was an idea how to ease maintaining user's templates - its more difficult variant will solve problem of pollution by 3rd party packages and root-lacking user. [4]
