The following files are not installed in any binary package. This is deliberate. /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu - we install a renamed copy of this file (kde-applications.menu) to avoid conflicts with GNOME. See debian/rules. /usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme - This is shipped as part of the hicolor-icon-theme package, which GNOME and KDE depend on. Shipping this ourselves would result in file conflicts.
