It looks like the change is documented in the changelog
* debian/patches/50_def_config_paths.diff
- Remove unnecessary patch. It added /etc/GNUstep/Defaults to
the DEF_CONFIG_PATHS macro, but the files needed in the paths
referenced in this macro (in particular, menu, autostart, and
exitscript) will not be located there.
May be the patch is not yet unnecessary?
I checked out the source, and you're exactly right. DEF_CONFIG_PATHS is
used for *any* menu file, not just the default root menu, as I assumed
when I removed the patch.
Note that without the patch, DEF_CONFIG_PATHS is defined in
src/wconfig.h as "~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker:"PKGDATADIR, where
PKGDATADIR is "/usr/share/WindowMaker".
I think the easier fix would be to install the Debian menu in
/usr/share/WindowMaker instead, i.e.:
--- a/debian/wmaker.menu-method
+++ b/debian/wmaker.menu-method

Of course, this all assumes we even want to *keep* the Debian menu in
Window Maker, which is questionable considering that it has been
deprecated in 3.9.8.
