Thank you to all answered to my question with opinion, personal experiences
etc.
I've decided to include scwm in the forthcoming Debian 2.0. I'm going to put a
warning about the alpha stage of the program (but without requiring to press
RETURN).

PS: some developers noted that it is'nt opportune to put a new package in
freeze time; my message was not very clear: scwm is part of Debian unstable
from around 3-4 months.
