Well, you don't have to start your FvwmButtons from the menu - you can
just start it automatically (assuming you always want it to be there);
on one account on my machine, this is done by putting all the
customization into post.hook and a call to 'Module FvwmButtons' in
init-restart.hook.
If, however, you want it in the menu you can always put it in yourself
with an AddToMenu command in post.hook; modifying the menu entry
itself (by changing /usr/lib/menu/fvwm2) gets wiped by a new fvwm2.
This has the problem that the DebianFvwmButtons is still there...
The best solution is probably to use
DestroyModuleConfig DebianFvwmButtons
in post.hook and then listing the entries one wants.
Of course, since this command exists, one wonders why the author of
the fvwm2 config used DebianFvwmButtons to begin with...
