2.6.7-1 has been available in unstable for a few weeks:

fvwm (1:2.6.7-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New maintainer.
  * Complies with Policy v3.9.8.
  * New upstream version. (Closes: #820425)
    - Fvwm now has a default config. See /usr/share/doc/fvwm/NEWS.Debian.gz
    - Removed the following modules:
        FvwmDragWell, FvwmGTK, FvwmSave, FvwmSaveDesk, FvwmScroll,
        FvwmTabs, FvwmTaskBar, FvwmTheme, FvwmWharf, FvwmWinList,
        FvwmWindowMenu, FvwmIconBox.
    - fvwm-menu-desktop updated (now a python script). (Closes: #808292)
    - New features and bug fixes. For a full list between 2.6.5 and 2.6.7
      see /usr/share/doc/fvwm/changelog.gz
  * Removed the old system.fvwm2rc config examples.
  * Upstream moved from cvs to git. Updated watch file.
  * Removed old Debian menu methods. Use XDG menus with fvwm-menu-desktop.
  * html documentation no longer built (outdated/broken links).
  * Package build is reproducible. (Closes: #831646)
  * Fixed conflicting array sizes of TabCom. (Closes: #801612)
  * Upstream no longer includes a debian/ directory, so Debian no longer has
    to repackage the upstream source without debian/. Removed .ds from version.
  * Updated copyright to include the Apache-2.0 license for the icons
    in default-config/images/icons/*
  * Changed compat from level 9 to level 10 and removed dh-autoreconf and
    autotools-dev from build-depends.
  * Fixed lintian Info flags: spelling errors and fvwm.desktop Keywords.

Shouldn't the bug be closed?

Note: Since it is incompatible with the previous versions (see the removed
modules), I'm not using it right now. I need to adapt my config first, but
I don't have the time at the moment. I wonder whether documentation should
be provided for the upgrade.
