I have added a simple patch to fix this for the time being. The next
upstream tagged release will not be until shortly before OpenBSD 5.6
is released.

I have modified the package to rename the binary, manual page and
.desktop file to openbsd-cwm, and added a README.Debian to note this
change. I haven't modified the contents of the man pages. Should I do
so? If so, just where the binary name is referenced, or globally?

Good idea. I put the generation in debian/rules.

Done.
