Wayland has been discussed a number of times in the suckless mailing list[1][2][3], and judging by the replies[4][5] it seems to me that the community has yet to decide if they are in favor of or against migrating to Wayland. There seems to be a port for dmenu[6], but requires that two additional libraries be packaged for Debian. There is also bemenu[7], which is written for Wayland and is inspired from dmenu. That said, it seems that it will take same time before dmenu could support Wayland.
