Games should be removed from menus then.

This is bullshit! That's not up to Debian to decide what the user
should put in his ~/bin. If the user decided to put a program called
evince in his ~/bin, then the Debian system should *by default*:
  * either run the correct evince program;
  * or not try to run evince at all.

Remember that the user isn't necessarily the administrator.
