I think this is an intentional decision by the upgrade system. It's just keeping the menu's where they were originally in 6 which is why I set this as a feature request, not a bug.

However for anyone upgrading from 6 to 7 this is an annoying problem as it is not easy to fix the menu system for use with the toolbar. See the comments on this page ...

http://drupal.org/documentation/modules/toolbar/

The fix is basically to move the Admin menu from Navigation to Management and then move items to the next level down in the menu so that they appear in the toolbar ...

"I then looked at the Toolbar module code and realized that it constructs its menu tree by looking at the immediate children of the Administer menu entry.
Looking at the management menu (admin/structure/menu/manage/management) I found that the administer menu entry had no children at all. Pushing all the menu entries below Administer one step to the right and then clicking the "save configuration" button solved the problem for me." http://drupal.org/documentation/modules/toolbar#comment-5870820

For anyone knew to Drupal 7 this is all very confusing. It is fixable but requires a lot of dragging around of menu's which is not an easy task and it is not clear. The "reset" does not always do what is expected either.

Basically it's not at all clear how to configure items to appear in the toolbar or not, and menu entries retained from Drupal 6 appear to be interfering with the menu system.

I just went through a D6 to D7.15 upgrade and am running into the same problem, however any of the fixes used by others in the links provided by @djbarney does not bring my toolbar to life.

This is probably not specific to this particular drupal version.
Should be looked at for 8.x first, then considered for backporting to 7.x

Yep, that's generally true. However, if this is specifically about the D6 => D7 upgrade path, then it would only be an issue fixed in D7. There is no D6 => D8 upgrade path. So tentatively moving back down.
