Someone pointed this out to me today. I re-uploaded it, try
again later (give Mandrake some time to find it in incoming).
Well said. RPM converted to DEB _SEEMS_ to work. It does not.
You lose dependencies and all debianization.

I _think_ they're all made by Raster (the author of E).

I don't think there's such a thing as a default WM, but one
with highest priority and one recommended somewhere. As of now
fvwm is this one.
E is still very unstable for this position, but in the future I
will agree with you.

Due to the conversion, of course. The deb one depends on imlib
and recommends a theme. The RPM one wasn't made by me.

Of course. This is part of integrating it into Debian. You will
need the .deb.

Yes, really funny. If you wish to submit this as a bug when I
upload the stuff to master, I will forward it upstream. (It
happens for me too.)
