I was hoping I had sufficiently advertised the proposal and the changes

  FVWM Module (which is incorrect; the correct way to address the wm
  is Fvwm). 

In that case, please report a bug to debian-policy requesting the
change. This is a trivial matter to fix.

 But this means that people  who use Debian menus in fvwm have

  For example,

 + FVWM Modules Popup /Debian/FVWM_Modules
 + Window Managers Popup /Debian/Window_Managers
 
 So, with the new menu policy, Fvwm users have to edit their
  configuration files.  Are there any plans for preserving backwards

I would say it is a job for the menu-method, not for menu itself.
Does FVWM allow to define aliases to menu section, or something similar?
You could define WindowManagers as an alias for Window Managers,
etc.
