Hello, Well, the fact is that if xfce4 gets upgraded but not xfce4-session, some parts of xfce4 are not useable, so I would give some proposals to gracefully react:
I am not a maintainer, but from my point of view I think that something about it should be done during the upgrade, and there might be solutions. Just remembering and seaching a little options might be: a) just warn user b) do some sort of "stopping" (saving?) xfe4-session (like some packages that ask to reload daemons) in order to be able to finish xfce4-session installation (and start it afterwards?. c) ask dev list to discuss the change of "depend" into "pre-depend" (don't think it is the good way, anyway this is for extreme situations... but why installing xfce4 if xfce4-session could not install?)
