Yes, of course. It's just the way the configuration files are laid out
and where they are placed. There's no problem with fvwm itself.

  * There are new utilities to help customize fvwm if there is no fvwmrc
    file available.  Because of this, the package removes the default
    system-wide fvwmrc file, since that shadowed the nice configuration
    utilities.
  * The Debian menu is available from the file /etc/X11/fvwm/DebianMenu
    (the old file /etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook shall be retained as a
    synlink for a bit). This would require a change in existing user
    configuration files.
  * In the postinst we now move old conffiles out of the way (.dpkg-old),
    since they interfere with the new configuration generation tools; but
    we do not delete the files, so preserving user changes. We only do
    this if the user is upgrading from a pre 2.5.8 version. On purge, we
    remove all these preserved files as well.
