Not really a waste. The extensions are provided as a simple way to add applications to an otherwise limited system. A harddrive install is not limited in the same way. With a harddrive install, not only do you have persistent additions, but by using apt-get instead of mydsl you also have documentation and other extras which are ripped from extensions, plus it's a true package manager which means updating and uninstalling are built-in.
The only time I've had problems with applications not displaying in the menu was when the menu file in the extension did not include a newline after the menu entry. This resulted in multiple items being added to the same line of the menu, and therefore not displaying.
Some programs do not have menu items...that's another possibility.
oops...i forgot about this:
