Which window manager/desktop are you using?  For example, I use KDE.  If I 
create an empty ~/.menu/<package> file, that menu listing will be removed 
from the Debian section of KDE's menu.  However, KDE also seems to use it's 
own menu system which ignores ~/.menu/, even though it appears to have 
generated it's menu list from the /usr/lib/menu/ entries.  These KDE specific 
menu entries (which on my system are pretty much a double up of the Debian 
menu entries) can be removed/edited locally by each user using KDE's Menu 
Editor.  I imagine that some other window managers have similar behaviour 
(GNOME maybe?).

Perhaps this is why empty ~/.menu/<package> files aren't working for you?
