The system.fvwm2rc in Debian's setup is used to read all the system and
user .hook files.  It is designed to be robust enough to allow the user
full configuration of the wm or no configuration at all and just use the
defaults.

I use the following at the top of my ~/.fvwm/post.hook and it works
great.

ButtonStyle Reset
DestroyDecor default-decor
DestroyModuleConfig FvwmIconBox
DestroyModuleConfig FvwmButtons
DestroyModuleConfig FvwmPager

I then have a clean slate to define my own setup for the above modules,
etc.
