Yay! I've had several wishlist bugs filed against debhelper asking for a
dh_installwindowmanagers type script, and I've held off on writing it
becuase I didn't like the current way /etc/X11/window-managers is handled.
Now I think I will write the script and when you create
register-window-manager, it will start using it.
