I see now that it does not make sense to pester Manoj myself. He didn't answer my request too. My decision is for sure now that I will show my readers a way how to download a current FVWM version, compile it and install it on Debian systems. I even will deliberately commit a language inconsistency by describing the FVWM related topics in English (and not in German) and try to encapsulate it a little bit from the rest of my how-tos in order to show German and non-German readers a way how to use Debian Linux *AND* FVWM together. Then, nobody will need Manoj anymore :-)
