Please use a sane mail client which puts proper "In-Reply-To:" header.
This enables us to track message using threading. This is very true
since many things are beyond the scope of my limited intelligence :-)
Anyway, I am sorry to make you so angry and uncomfortable about me. I
had no intention to do so and I am somewhat surprised.

I think Craig and Colin had good technical follow-ups so I will leave
technical issues here. I am happy to know that no Debian documents
recommend copying binary files to /etc directory. There will be no bug
report.
I like what Craig elaborated done for all gdm/xdm/wdm/... packages if
some window managers are installed. I want this kind of menu created in
the postinst script automatically if it is implemented. (Now I know a
bit more on why Branden said some start up process does not parse
.xsession and why he was thinking to have summit on X initialization.)
Cheers :-)
