It's obviously a problem if Debian's NEWS file conflicts with the package's actual behavior, so this should to be resolved. I'd also be in favor of removing the system-wide default config, as I don't use it. But it would be nice to keep the integration with the Debian menu system. I think that it's of great value to new users if a new install of FVWM includes the Debian menu by default. Not just because it's user-friendly but also because it demonstrates that they don't have to generate their own menu. If this isn't possible, maybe a sample script could be added to /usr/share/doc/fvwm/sample.fvwmrc/ and/or a note describing how to enable the Debian menu could be added to a Debian.README file.
