Since the author of wmtemp grabed code from wmgtemp (it is written on
his webpage), I guess he tried to avoid code duplication.
It is clearly not obvious that such merge would not require more work
than just packaging the two. And it is not like if there was not
plenty of different program doing almost the same thing in debian,
with subtle differences.
