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!
