I am not wedded to the configuration examples. If that is your
sole objection, then it is easl=ily fixed.

Are we still speaking of the examples?
I note that the packages provided do not integrate well into
Debian's menu system, nor do they integrate with the alternatives
system; and, off hand, I do not see a system wide default fvwmrc. Are
these the legacy things you refer to? If so, I am afraid that the
packages provided by Debian must remain diverged; some of these are
required by the need to present an consistent integration of window
managers into Debian.
I am not the official maintainer of FVWM in Debian, but I'll
try and see if I can get him to cede the apckage to me, when I'll
have greater control over the default configuration.
