Package: xmonad
Version: 0.8.1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

xmonad does ship a debian/wm file, but a quick look at the files in
/var/lib/dpkg/info reveals that it isn't creating the right postinst
and prerm calls, and there is no x-window-manager alternative
added. I'm pretty sure that this is because xmonad has one source
package for many binaries, so the debian/wm file must be named
debian/xmonad.wm. I can't test if this is true because ghc6 is
currently in flux in unstable so I can't grab the build-deps to test,
but the simple patch is attached.

Regards,
Daniel
