No, this is not the Debian way :)
First try running update-menus. (You can run it as a normal user,
too). If that doesn't help, it's a bug (in the Debian package, not in
sawfish itself).
I don't have the potato version of sawfish - the last one I saw was
still sawmill. In sawmill the important file which made the menu to
be read was /usr/share/sawmill/site-init.jl (or maybe it was in a
subdirectory of that called something like lisp or site-lisp, I don't
remember exactly). Where that file reads the menu from must agree
with the location update-menu creates it (and that is specified in
/etc/menu-methods/sawmill).
