The way people are expected to do this, for future reference, is
'update-alternatives --config x-session-manager'. gnome-session2's
postinst script just runs update-alternatives to install its own
alternative, and u-a picks the highest priority one.
dpkg-reconfigure is not a general reconfiguration tool; it's a tool to
get debconf questions about a package asked to you again.
(Can't help with the rest, though, sorry.)
