#158: distinguish cluster from workstation machine on login screen------------------------+---------------------------------------------------

Comment(by geofft):
One simple way to accomplish this would be for -login-graphical to provide
a /usr/share/gdm/themes/debathena/version.png that says e.g "Debathena
with Athena logins", -workstation to divert it to a .png saying "Managed
private Debathena workstation", and -cluster to divert it ''again'' to say
"Standard Debathena cluster workstation" (those names probably need some
work, and we probably also want to put the literal metapackage name in
smaller letters there).
This has the side effect of making debathena-gdm-config depend on
debathena-login-graphical. I don't know if this actually makes anyone sad,
but we can work around it by having it include an "Unknown Debathena
version" .png or something silly.
