Looking at the source package I cannot see a single
invasive patch WRT to the original source. I think you
are referring to the Debian menu package, which is
not part of JWM, but merely a "Recommends" in the Debian
jwm package. Without that menu package, the JWM menu
is almost empty: It has only entries for "Terminal",
"Lock", "Restart" and "Exit".

In consequence, forking the Debian jwm package would
make a difference of exactly zilch. If one wants
A Slicker Menu ™, one should fork and modify the menu
package instead!
