Uh, no, the Debian method is the bog-standard method of correctly
configuring your ~/.xsession file to start the X clients you want.  If the
user doesn't have one, then it uses the system one.

The x-window-manager alternative is a fallback, and fails miserably at
usability the moment there's more than one person using the box.

Plus, you have to be root to modify the alternative.
